Ingredients
- 240 g (2 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 10 g (2 1/2 tsp) baking powder
- 2 g ( 1/2 tsp) salt
- 8 g (2 tsp) granulated sugar
- 85 g (6 Tbsp) unsalted butter, cold
- 177 g ( 3/4 cup) buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture is unevenly crumbly, with some larger bits of butter (between pea and currant size) remaining. Add the buttermilk and stir to make a cohesive dough.
- While it's still in the bowl, fold the dough over on itself a few times to pick up any dry bits. Turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface and pat it to 3/4 inch thick.
- Cut rounds or squares with a sharp knife or biscuit cutter.
- Place the dough cutouts about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the biscuits for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Makes six 3-inch biscuits.
- Tip: If using a biscuit cutter, press down instead of twisting for the flakiest biscuits.
