Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Step 3: Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.
Step 4: Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 5: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a thick rectangle.
Step 6: Fold the dough over itself a few times to create flaky layers, then pat it out to about 1-inch thickness.
Step 7: Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking tray.
Step 8: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
Step 9: Brush the warm biscuits with melted butter immediately after baking.
Step 10: Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or gravy if desired.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Reheat biscuits in the oven at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes or microwave briefly until warm.
Freeze baked biscuits in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
Warm frozen biscuits directly in the oven for the best texture and flavor.
