Instructions

In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Beat on low-medium speed until the butter is nearly pea-sized. It's okay to have a few bigger chunks.

Then, pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into a rough rectangle. Fold the dough over onto itself and gently roll out to about ½'' tall. Repeat this one more time.

Cut the dough into five equal pieces or use a 2 ½'' round biscuit cutter and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Freeze the biscuits for about 20 minutes.

Near the end of the freeze time, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush the tops of the bicuits with buttermilk and bake for 18-20 minutes until they are golden brown.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Keep Ingredients Ice Cold ❄️
Chill your butter, buttermilk, and even your mixing bowl before starting; cold fat creates steam pockets that produce those coveted flaky layers.
Don't Overwork the Dough 🙌
Mix just until the dough comes together—overmixing develops gluten and results in tough, dense biscuits instead of tender ones.
Use the Cutout Method Wisely ✂️
Cut biscuits with a sharp biscuit cutter using one clean downward motion without twisting, which seals the edges and helps them rise higher and more evenly.
Brush with Melted Butter Before Baking 🧈
Apply melted butter to the tops just before baking to enhance browning and add richness, then brush again immediately after baking for extra flavor and shine.
Bake on a Preheated Sheet Pan 🔥
Place your baking sheet in the oven while preheating so biscuits start cooking immediately on the bottom, creating a golden crust and better rise.
