Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 0.75 cup buttermilk (cold)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the cold buttermilk, gently stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Fold the dough in half, rotate it 90 degrees, and pat it back into a rectangle. Repeat this process 2 more times to create flaky layers.

Step 7

Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press the scraps together and cut out additional biscuits, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush them with melted butter while still warm.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, flaky goodness of farmhouse buttermilk biscuits!
