Perfect Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

This buttermilk biscuit recipe is absolutely amazing and came out delicious! I had to share not only to keep in my recipe catalog but for those who would like to give these a try!

This recipe is less about the ingredients and more about the science behind making them!

Here is the recipe but follow the next steps carefully and you will the most beautiful golden soft buttery biscuits!

2 cups of self rising flour or all purpose

1/2 TSP salt

1/2 TSP baking powder

1/2 TSP baking soda

1 1/4 buttermilk

1 TBS sugar

1 frozen stick of butter

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees

Sift two cups of flour and mix all of the dry ingredients and sit in freezer, very important these ingredients are cold! Next you will grate your frozen butter and mix in with cold dry ingredients. It should look very crumbly.

Next make a well in the middle of your dry ingredients and pour in the butter milk and stir until there is a dough like consistency. Do not roll out with a rolling pin. You will flatten out to a 1.5 rectangle with your hands then using a biscuit cutter or glass cut out the biscuits. Do not twist, pull straight up once cut!

Bake on 425 for 12-13 minutes. Brush butter on the biscuits before and after baking! Serve with Jelly, syrup or eat plain 😋🤤#homemadebiscuits #makingbiscuits #baking and cooking #biscuits

... Read moreMaking homemade buttermilk biscuits is both an art and a science. The key to achieving biscuit perfection lies in the quality and temperature of your ingredients. Using cold ingredients, such as butter and buttermilk, is essential for achieving that flaky texture that everyone loves. Remember that when you're incorporating the butter into the flour, you want it to remain in small pieces rather than fully mixing in. This will create those delicious layers. Additionally, the importance of sifting the flour and measuring your baking powder, baking soda, and salt cannot be understated, as they contribute to the rise and texture of your biscuits. It's also beneficial to let your biscuits rest briefly before baking, which can improve their rise. Lastly, brushing melted butter on them before and after baking adds a rich flavor that makes them irresistible. Try experimenting with different types of flour or adding spices and cheese for an extra twist on this classic recipe!
