How to Make Butter Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
4. Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until the dough comes together.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times.
6. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
7. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet.
8. Gather the remaining dough, pat it out again, and cut more biscuits.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
10. Serve warm and enjoy!
