Chef John's Buttermilk Biscuits Flaky, Golden Buttermilk Biscuits from Scratch Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plus more for brushing) Directions: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together; do not overmix. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds like a letter, rotate 90°, and gently flatten again. Repeat the fold one more time for extra layers. Pat the dough out one final time and use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Do not twist the cutter. Place biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little buttermilk. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Serve warm.
