Flaky Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Step 2

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, & salt in a large bowl.

Step 3

Cut in butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles large crumbs (about the size of a pea). Add in buttermilk and stir until moistened. (You may need about 2 tablespoons more or less of the buttermilk).

Step 4

Lightly flour the surface and turn dough onto the surface. Knead gently just until the dough holds together.

Step 5

Pat the dough and fold it over a few times (this creates the layers in the biscuits). Pat to 1″ thick and cut using a biscuit cutter.

Step 6

Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake 10-12 minutes or until golden.
