Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 baking tray
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cold cultured buttermilk
- 12 TBSP cold unsalted butter 8TBSP cubed & 4 TBSP sliced thinly
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Add the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda & salt to a bowl and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute.
- Cube 8 tablespoons (½ cup) of the butter and rub it into the dry ingredients from the previous step until the mixture mostly resembles fine sand but still has some chunks of butter.
- Add the buttermilk and, using your hands, form the mixture into a dough just until combined. Avoid using a full kneading motion and instead, push the dry ingredients into the wet portion of the dough repeating this until there are no more dry spots.
- On a floured surface roll the dough out until half-inch thick.
- Slice the remaining 4 tablespoons (¼ cup) of butter as thinly as possible and arrange them across the surface of the rolled out dough.
- Roll the dough up lengthwise then tuck the ends inward to form a ball.
- Roll the dough out again until a half to three-quarters inch thick and cut into your desired shapes. Whatever your tool of choice, use one downward motion to cut; do not drag or twist.
- Arrange the biscuits on a baking sheet leaving at least an inch of space around each. Alternatively, you can arrange in a pan closer together for pull-apart biscuits.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. If the biscuits were arranged closer together the baking time will be about 5-7 minutes longer.
- Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings and/or alongside your favorite breakfast mains!
