Step 4: Mix in Buttermilk
1️⃣ In a small bowl, mix buttermilk and vinegar/lemon juice (this adds fluffiness!).
2️⃣ Slowly pour the buttermilk into the flour mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until it just comes together.
3️⃣ If the dough looks a little dry, add 1-2 extra tablespoons of buttermilk.
🚫 Don’t overmix! Overworking the dough makes biscuits tough instead of tender.
Step 5: Fold for Extra Flaky Layers
1️⃣ Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it.
2️⃣ Pat it gently into a rectangle (about 1-inch thick).
3️⃣ Fold the dough in half, then rotate it 90 degrees.
4️⃣ Repeat this process 3-4 times—this creates those billion-dollar layers!
5️⃣ Finally, roll or pat the dough into a ¾-inch thick slab.
💡 Pro Tip: Folding is the trick that makes these biscuits super flaky and buttery—don’t skip this step!
Step 6: Cut Out the Biscuits
1️⃣ Use a biscuit cutter (or a glass with floured edges) to cut out biscuits.
2️⃣ Press straight down—don’t twist the cutter, or the edges won’t rise properly!
3️⃣ Place biscuits on the baking sheet with sides touching slightly (this helps them rise higher).
🚀 No cutter? Just slice the dough into squares for rustic-style biscuits!
Step 7: Bake to Golden Perfection
✅ Brush the tops with buttermilk for a golden, crispy finish.
✅ Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
💡 Pro Tip: For extra richness, brush with melted butter halfway through baking!
Step 8: Add the Buttery Topping (Optional but Incredible!)
1️⃣ Melt 4 tablespoons butter and mix in a little honey or garlic powder for extra flavor.
2️⃣ Brush the warm biscuits generously with the melted butter mixture.
✨ Now, enjoy the most buttery, flaky, and irresistible biscuits ever!
