These homemade fluffy buttermilk biscuits feature a crispy golden crust and a soft, pillowy inside with a subtle tang from buttermilk. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any cozy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold buttermilk (or 1 cup milk mixed with 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  4. Pour the cold buttermilk into the bowl. If using honey or sugar, add it now. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together; it will be slightly sticky.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface and gently fold the dough onto itself 3 or 4 times until cohesive. Avoid kneading.
  6. Roll the dough to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds, pressing straight down without twisting. Gather scraps, press together gently, and repeat.
  7. Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden and sides lightly browned.
  9. Let biscuits rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold for flaky texture. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to preserve layers. Baking at high heat (425°F) creates a crispy golden crust. Biscuits can be baked close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges. Brush tops with melted butter after baking for extra shine and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
