Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Cold Butter
- 1 cup Buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.2 cups All Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoon Baking Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda, 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar, 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Grate cold butter and toss it in with the flour to coat. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture.1/2 cup Cold Butter, 1 cup Buttermilk
- Pour the buttermilk into the bowl and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The biscuits will spread slightly as they bake, so don’t worry if they aren’t perfectly shaped.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping!

Notes
- Make sure your butter is frozen or very cold so it grates easily. These pieces will melt as the biscuits bake, adding moisture and flavor.
- Don't be tempted to overmix the batter. A few lumps are okay, but over-mixing will result in tough biscuits.
- Be sure you have a hot oven before adding the biscuits. You'll want to be sure to preheat the oven.
