For the flakiest biscuits, ensure your butter and buttermilk are very cold. You can even freeze the butter for 10-15 minutes before using. Avoid overmixing the dough, as this will result in tough biscuits. Mix until just combined. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits into squares or triangles. For extra flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter or milk before baking.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to a robust 450°F (232°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined. (2 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. (5 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Pour the cold buttermilk into the bowl. Gently stir with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be shaggy. (3 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. (2 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Using a 3 1/2-inch biscuit cutter (or a sharp knife), cut out the biscuits. Arrange 6 biscuits in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, with the edges touching, and place the remaining biscuit in the center. This ensures even baking and helps the biscuits rise tall. (5 minutes)
07
Step
14 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 14 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (14 minutes)
08
StepRemove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
