- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to remove any lumps.
- Next, use a fork or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is incorporated and the size of small peas.
- Pour the buttermilk into the flour and butter mixture and stir until the mixture is combined and no excess flour remains.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a large square.
- Fold the dough over onto itself and use a rolling pin to flatten it out slightly.
- Repeat this two more times and then flatten the dough out to one inch thick
- Using a circle biscuit cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 biscuits. If needed, gently push the scraps back together to cut out the remaining biscuits.
- Place the cut biscuits onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer to chill for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400˚ while the biscuits are chilling and then bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Buttermilk Substitute - Combine 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice into a measuring cup and fill it up the rest of the way with whole milk to make 1 total cup. Let the mixture stand for about 5 minutes to thicken and then mix it in as directed. Dairy Free - Use the buttermilk substitution above but use plant-based or dairy-free milk instead of whole milk. Replace the butter with a dairy-free or plant-based butter substitute. Food Processor - The dough can be mixed in a food processor instead. Be careful not to overmix the dough or the biscuits will be tough. Cast Iron Skillet - Cook the biscuits in a cast iron skillet with a bit of melted butter on the bottom. Baking time may be a little bit different, so keep a close eye on them.
