Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup COLD buttermilk
- 8 tbsp butter melted & slightly cooled
Instructions
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk together to evenly combine.2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp sugar, 3/4 tsp salt
- In another bowl add the buttermilk and butter and whisk them together until the butter forms small clumps.1 cup COLD buttermilk, 8 tbsp butter
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir them together until evenly incorporated and the batter begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Using a large cookie scoop, scoop and drop the batter onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet in even rows.
- Bake at 475° for 12-14 minutes.
- Brush warm biscuits with a bit of melted butter before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the buttermilk is cold. You want it to be cold enough to cause the melted butter to firm up in little pieces when you whisk it together. These little pieces of butter throughout will create steam pockets in the biscuits that make them light and fluffy.
- Don't have a cookie scoop? Use a small measuring cup- like an 1/8 of a cup- or a large spoon to drop the biscuit batter instead.
- Using parchment paper on your baking sheet keeps allows for an easy clean up and makes sure the biscuits don't get stuck on your cooking sheet.
