Homemade Biscuits

• servings: 8 servings
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 1/2 c. (300 g.) all-purpose flour

2 tbsp. baking powder

1 tbsp. granulated sugar

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 c. (1 stick) very cold unsalted butter, plus more, melted, for brushing

1 c. cold buttermilk

Directions

For The Oven:

Preheat oven to 425º and line a large baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Using a box grater, grate butter over flour mixture and quickly toss with your hands to incorporate. Using a wooden spoon, make a well in the center of dough and pour in 1 cup buttermilk. Stir until just beginning to come together, then turn out onto a work surface.

Form dough into a rectangle about 1" thick. Starting on a long side, fold dough into thirds, like folding a letter. Using a rolling pin, gently pat back to a 1"-thick rectangle. Repeat folding process, working fast so butter doesn't melt.

Pat dough to a 1"-thick rectangle. Using a 2" round biscuit or cookie cutter, quickly press down (don’t twist!) to cut out rounds. Transfer to prepared sheet, spacing about 1/2" apart. Bring together dough scraps and cut out more rounds.

Brush tops of rounds with melted butter. Bake biscuits until flaky and tops are lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Pat dough to a 1"-thick rectangle. Using a 2" round biscuit or cookie cutter, quickly press down (don’t twist!) to cut out rounds. Bring together dough scraps and cut out more rounds.

Line an air-fryer basket with parchment. Working in batches, arrange rounds in basket, spacing about 1/2" apart.

Brush tops of rounds with melted butter. Cook biscuits at 400º until tops are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.
