Ingredients for Buttermilk Biscuits

The list of ingredients for these biscuits is fairly short. You’ll need flour, baking powder, baking soda, butter, buttermilk, salt and sugar. Its how all of these combine that gives you the best homemade buttermilk biscuits.

Trick to flaky, tall buttermilk biscuits

The trick to the best buttermilk biscuits is that you should have cold butter and buttermilk. So make sure that you use butter straight from the fridge. Don’t leave it out on the counter while you do other things. In fact, you can cut up the butter and then place it back in the fridge for a few minutes while you get everything else together. It’s also important not to overwork the dough. The butter creates pockets which melt in the oven and then give these biscuits the most amazing flakiness. We also use a technique similar to rolling croissants which works really well here. Once the dough is ready, roll it out into a rectangular, take one third and put it over the other third like an envelope. Roll it out again and repeat once more. This creates even more layers in the biscuits. And seriously, you will be in biscuit heaven. I’m sure there is one somewhere! Serve this homemade sausage gravy or use these as a base for shortbread sundae. Yum!!
