Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the cold butter cubes using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Fold the dough in half, then pat it into a rectangle again. Repeat this folding process 2-3 more times.
- Place the dough into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the dough.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure your butter and buttermilk are very cold for the best texture.
- Avoid overmixing the dough; a slightly shaggy dough is ideal.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven.
