Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the upper-middle section of the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow the butter to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the melted butter into the buttermilk and stir to combine. The mixture might look slightly curdled, which is normal.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the buttermilk-butter mixture into it.
- Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together, stirring just until the ingredients are incorporated. The dough will be sticky and slightly lumpy.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measure, drop the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack or serve immediately while still warm.
Tips
- Use Cold Ingredients: For the best texture, ensure your buttermilk and melted butter are slightly cooled before mixing. This helps create those tender layers that make biscuits irresistible.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. A few lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
- Keep the Oven Hot: Preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C) is crucial for achieving that perfect rise and golden-brown crust. Make sure to position your baking rack in the upper-middle section for even baking.
- Spacing is Key: When dropping the biscuit dough onto the baking sheet, ensure they are spaced 1-2 inches apart. This allows them to bake evenly and develop a nice crust.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you’re not serving them immediately, keep them warm in a low oven or cover them with a clean kitchen towel to maintain their softness.
