Servings
12
biscuits
Ingredients
2
cups
all-purpose flour
more for dusting
2
teaspoons
granulated sugar
1
tablespoon
baking powder
1/4
teaspoon
baking soda
1
teaspoon
salt
6
tablespoons
unsalted butter very cold
1
cup
buttermilk
chilled
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a food processor.
Add the butter. Pulse the food processor several times to combine the flour and fat.
Pour in the buttermilk and process until just combined. The dough will be a little sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Dust flour on the dough.
Pat the dough out to ½ inch thickness.
Cut 2-inch circles out with a biscuit cutter.
Place the biscuits on the lined baking sheet. Leave 2 inches between them.
You can put scraps of the dough together to cut out new biscuits, but try to handle them as little as possible.
Bake the biscuits until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
Notes
Although this can be made by hand with a pastry cutter, a food processor makes faster work and keeps the butter cold.
