Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes 🧈
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in Butter:
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The small butter pieces will contribute to flakiness.
- Add Buttermilk:
- Pour the cold buttermilk into the flour-butter mixture. Gently stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; a slightly shaggy dough is ideal.
- Knead the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it lightly, folding it over on itself 4-5 times. This process helps create layers in the biscuits.
- Roll and Cut Biscuits:
- Roll out the dough to about 3/4-inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are close but not touching.
- Bake to Golden Perfection:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Brush with Butter (Optional):
- For that extra KFC touch, melt a small amount of butter and brush the tops of the biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
