“Oh heavens, these were such a hit! All the grand kids wanted seconds and grandpa ate three of them. Safe to say I will be making them again and again.”

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

Take your cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands to mix it into the flour until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. The small butter bits create pockets of flakiness when baked!

Pro Tip: Freeze the butter for 10 minutes before using for even flakier biscuits.

Step 4: Add the Buttermilk

Slowly pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough should be soft but not overly sticky. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the biscuits dense.

Step 5: Shape the Dough

Lightly flour a surface and turn out the dough. Gently pat it down to about ¾-inch thick—don’t use a rolling pin, as it can make the biscuits too dense.

Step 6: Cut the Biscuits

Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out rounds. Press straight down—don’t twist! Twisting seals the edges and prevents the biscuits from rising properly.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

Place the biscuits on the baking sheet, making sure they slightly touch each other (this helps them rise higher). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 8: Brush with Butter

As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter for an extra rich flavor. You can also sprinkle a little honey or jam for a sweet touch!
