Description
Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits are soft, flaky, and irresistibly buttery, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- ¾ cup cold buttermilk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir with a fork until just combined—the dough will be sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until it comes together.
- Pat or gently roll the dough to about ½ inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits.
- Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet; place touching each other for soft sides or spaced apart for crispy sides.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately brush tops with melted butter for an extra buttery finish.
Notes
- Ensure that the butter and buttermilk are cold for the best texture.
- Do not overmix the dough; it should be just combined.
- For variation, add shredded cheese or herbs to the dough before baking.
