Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons cold butter cut into 1/2 inch chunks
- ¾ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, pulse together the 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons sugar until well combined.
- Add 6 tablespoons cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pieces of butter throughout.
- Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk and pulse just until the dough begins to come together—don’t overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
- Use a 2½-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. Re-roll scraps once if needed to cut a few more.
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve warm with sausage gravy, butter, or jam!
