Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.125 cup granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup butter, cold and cubed
- 1.5 cups buttermilk
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring until just combined. The dough will be shaggy.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for about 30 seconds, just until it comes together. Do not overwork.
- Pat or roll the dough to about 0.75 inches thick. Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch round cutter.
- Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm, with butter or your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra richness, you can brush the tops of the baked biscuits with melted butter.
