Equipment
- food processor
- rolling pin
- biscuit cutter
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 8 tbsp cold butter cut into small cubes
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the flour mix and the butter to a food processor. Briefly pulse 6-7 times.
- Transfer to a bowl. Pour in the buttermilk.
- Mix until a dough forms.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the dough to a 1” thick slab.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a small bowl, press out biscuits. Make sure to press straight down and not twist the cutter. This allows the biscuits to rise. Repeat this process until all the dough is used up.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet.
- Bake 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool on a rack.
