Buttermilk Biscuits
There's something undeniably comforting about the smell of freshly baked biscuits in the air, especially when they're warm, fluffy, and utterly irresistible. These golden, flaky biscuits are a staple in southern comfort food.
Ingredients
- 300 g All Purpose Flour (about 2 ½ cups)
- 15 g baking power
- 10 g baking soda
- 10 g sugar
- 5 g salt
- 170 g butter (frozen & grated)
- 100 g gruyere cheese (or cheese of choice) (frozen & grated)
- 170 g buttermilk (cold)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the butter and cheese in the freezer until solid, approximately 20 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Grate the frozen butter and cheese into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the butter and cheese are evenly distributed.
- Add the buttermilk to the mixture and use your hands to gently combine the ingredients until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch. Use a bench scraper or a cookie cutter to cut out biscuits in your desired shape.
- Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky salt.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
