Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cups Cold unsalted butter
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together into a ball.

Step 6

Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits.

Step 7

Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the unbaked biscuits for at least 1 hour. This helps the dough firm up and ensures flakiness.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the refrigerator, then bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
