Ingredients
12 Servings
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 15 g baking powder
- 5 g baking soda
- 240 ml buttermilk
- 5 g salt
- 115 g unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are about the size of peas.
Step 4
Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently a few times until it comes together.
Step 6
Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then pat it down again. Repeat this process 3 more times.
Step 7
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
