Steps

30 mins

1

Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3

Cut in the Butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4

Add Buttermilk: Pour the cold buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough will be slightly sticky.
5

Shape the Biscuits: Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
6

Cut the Biscuits: Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits.
7

Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
8

Serve: Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite toppings.
