Description

Classic homemade biscuits that are flaky, buttery, and golden brown. This recipe ensures tender biscuits with a crispy edge, perfect for any meal of the day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cup buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set oven to 450°F.
  • Prepare Butter: Melt butter in a cast iron skillet or 8×8-inch baking dish in the preheated oven. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Add Buttermilk: Gradually stir in buttermilk until just combined. The dough will be lumpy.
  • Combine with Butter: Pour biscuit batter over the melted butter in the skillet or dish.
  • Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and set in the middle.
  • Cool: Let the biscuits sit in the pan for 15 minutes to absorb the butter.

Notes

  • Buttermilk Substitute: Mix 1 ¾ cups milk with 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar; let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Avoid Overworking Dough: Mix just until combined to ensure flaky biscuits.
  • Storage: Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Wrap in foil and warm at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
