Servings: 12 biscuits
Calories: 157kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk, chilled (see note)
- 8 Tablespoons salted butter, melted and slightly cooled, plus more for brushing on top if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter into the cold buttermilk with a fork. It will create little chunks of butter and look sort of slushy, but that's what you want.
- Mix the buttermilk and butter into the flour with a fork or spatula until everything is moistened, then use a large cookie scoop or ¼ cup measuring cup to drop mounds of biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown on top. You can brush the tops of the biscuits with additional melted butter right when they come out of the oven, if you like.

Notes
- Chilled buttermilk: It's important that your buttermilk is chilled so that it creates a sort of slush when the hot butter is added. The temperature differences creates the small chunks of butter that fill these biscuits with layers.
