Ingredients:2 cups all-purpose flour1 tablespoon baking powder½ teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed¾ to 1 cup cold buttermilk➡️Instructions:Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.Pour in ¾ cup of cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Add a little more if it feels too dry.Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Fold it over itself 2–3 times for flaky layers, then roll or pat it out again to about ¾ inch thickness.Cut biscuits using a floured round cutter and place them close together on the prepared baking sheet.Brush the tops with a bit of buttermilk for a golden finish.Bake for 12–15 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.Serve warm with butter, honey, or gravy—these classic buttermilk biscuits are soft, flaky, and the perfect companion to any Southern meal.
