These fluffy buttermilk biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a tender texture and rich flavor.
Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Whisk the dry ingredients to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Ensure the butter remains cold to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
Pour the buttermilk into the mixture and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Overmixing can make the biscuits dense, so mix just until the dough comes together.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 7 evenly sized mounds.
Use a spoon or ice cream scoop for consistent biscuit sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread for the best experience.
