These Classic Fluffy Homemade Biscuits are buttery, tender, and incredibly easy to make with just a few simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side to your favorite dinner, these biscuits bake up golden and delicious every time!

Ingredients
    For the Biscuit Dough
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 115 g unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (cold, shaken well)
    • For Brushing
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
    Preheat and Prepare
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Keep your ingredients cold — especially the butter and buttermilk.
    2. Mix Dry Ingredients
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
    3. Cut in Butter
  3. 3
    Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter remaining.
    4. Add Buttermilk
  4. 4
    Pour the cold buttermilk into the flour-butter mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
    5. Shape the Dough
  5. 5
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 2.5 cm thick. Fold the dough over onto itself 3-4 times to create layers, then pat it back into a rectangle.
    6. Cut the Biscuits
  6. 6
    Using a floured round biscuit cutter (about 6 cm diameter), cut out biscuits by pressing straight down (do not twist the cutter). Gather the scraps, gently rework, and cut out more biscuits.
    7. Bake
  7. 7
    Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, with sides touching for softer biscuits or spaced apart for crispier edges. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
    8. Finish and Serve
  8. 8
    Immediately brush the hot biscuits with melted butter. Serve warm with jam, honey, or gravy.
Note

Tip for Extra Tall Biscuits: Make sure your butter and buttermilk are very cold, and don’t twist your biscuit cutter when cutting out the dough.

Storage: Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Variations: Add ½ cup shredded cheddar for cheesy biscuits, or 2 tbsp fresh chopped herbs for an herbed version.
