Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  2. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter to work it in until the butter is pea-sized, then smash half of the butter chunks flat with your fingers for extra flakiness.

  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then stir in the cold buttermilk until the dough just comes together. Don’t overmix!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why are my biscuits flat?

A: If your biscuits are flat, it’s likely because the oven wasn’t hot enough or the dough was overworked. Make sure your oven is preheated and don’t knead too much!

Q: How can I make them even flakier?

A: After patting the dough into a rectangle, fold it into thirds, then roll it out again. This creates more layers that will puff up as they bake.
