Homemade Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe

A Taste of Southern Comfort

There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked buttermilk biscuits coming out of the oven. Flaky, soft, and golden brown, they’re the perfect companion to fried chicken, gravy, or a drizzle of honey. This Homemade Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe captures that Southern charm — simple ingredients, quick prep, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture that feels like home. I personally recommend checking out YETI Rambler 20 oz Tumbler.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 6 Tbsp. cold butter, cubed
• ¾ cup cold buttermilk (plus a bit extra for brushing tops)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cut in butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add buttermilk: Pour in cold buttermilk and gently stir until dough just comes together.
5. Fold and shape: Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently fold it over itself 3–4 times. Pat into a ¾-inch-thick circle.
6. Cut biscuits: Use a 2½-inch biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down — don’t twist — for the best rise.
7. Bake: Place biscuits on the prepared sheet, brush tops with buttermilk, and bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.

Pro Tip: For extra flaky layers, keep all your ingredients cold — even your flour if possible!
