Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder & salt to a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
- Add the cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture and rub it in until the mixture resembles sand but still has some chunks of butter.
- Add the cold buttermilk and mix with a spoon just until the dough comes together. Mix only until there are no dry spots to leave as many butter chunks intact as possible.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out 12 biscuits onto a unlined baking sheet or greased cast iron pan. Allow for up to half an inch of space around the dough portions for pull-apart biscuits. For individual biscuits allow for at least 2 inches of space around each ball of dough.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes minutes until golden brown. Pull-apart biscuits will take closer to 20 minutes.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter on removing from oven.
- Enjoy the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings or alongside your favorite breakfast mains or with a creamy soup!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days for optimal texture and flavor. Reheat in the oven to retain the crisp texture on the outside.

Notes
- Don't over mix the dough. This will shrink the butter chunks which are crucial to a soft & moist biscuit
- If using measuring cups spoon the flour into the measuring cups and level with a knife or other straight edge to avoid packing and adding too much flour
