These Southern-Style Buttermilk Biscuits are fluffy, buttery, and perfect for any meal.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a uniform texture in the biscuits.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Keep the butter cold for flakier biscuits.
Add the buttermilk to the dry mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
Do not overmix; stop as soon as the dough comes together.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times.
Over-kneading can make the biscuits tough, so be gentle.
Roll the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 1 inch apart.
Spacing the biscuits allows even baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings or sides.
Biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
