Easy Buttermilk Biscuits
Making biscuits from scratch doesn't have to be intimidating
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter grated or cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tsp honey
Instructions
- Place butter in freezer 1 hour before making this recipe
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Add flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl
- Whisk to combine
- Grate butter into flour mixture
- Add the grated butter and incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry cutter
- Make a well in the center of the mixture
- Pour buttermilk along with the honey into flour mixture
- Stir everything together with a fork until just about combined
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface & gently mold it into a rectangle (it doesn't have to be perfect)
- Fold one side into the center, then the other side
- Rotate the dough
- Gently flatten. Repeat the folding again.
- Fold about 10-12 times
- Gently roll the dough out with a rolling pin until it's about 3/4 inch thick
- Cut into 3-inch circles. Re-roll any scraps until you have 9-10 biscuits
- Arrange biscuits close together on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (Make sure the biscuits touching)
- Brush the tops with remaining buttermilk
- Bake for 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown on top
- Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter
- Cover leftovers and store in the fridge for 3-5 days
Notes
These biscuits can also be frozen for future use. To cook from frozen, preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
