Basic Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Step 3

Pour the buttermilk into a second bowl. Gently pour the melted butter into the cold buttermilk, stirring as you pour. (The butter should solidify into nice small flakes.)

Step 4

Pour the buttermilk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing just until your dough comes together.

Step 5

Knead the dough gently 5-6 times and then roll it out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut your biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit (or cookie) cutter. Re-roll any excess dough and continue cutting until all the dough has been used.

Step 6

Place the cut biscuits onto the greased baking sheet. Bake for 14 - 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Serve warm.
