Basic Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 cup buttermilk, (cold*)
• 4 Tbsp butter, (melted)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 450F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

3. 3

   Pour the buttermilk into a second bowl. Gently pour the melted butter into the cold buttermilk, stirring as you pour. (The butter should solidify into nice small flakes.)

4. 4

   Pour the buttermilk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing just until your dough comes together.

5. 5

   Knead the dough gently 5-6 times and then roll it out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut your biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit (or cookie) cutter. Re-roll any excess dough and continue cutting until all the dough has been used.

6. 6

   Place the cut biscuits onto the greased baking sheet. Bake for 14 - 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Serve warm.
