Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

[lilbobby]

Howdy, friends! Today, I'm sharing a beloved Southern staple that's essential for any good ol' Southern meal – Southern Buttermilk Biscuits. These biscuits are light, flaky, and oh-so-delicious, perfect for slathering with butter, jam, or gravy. So, let's roll up our sleeves and bake up a batch of these golden beauties that'll have you coming back for more!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Using a fork or spatula, gently stir the mixture until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be shaggy and slightly sticky.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
6. Using a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Press straight down with the cutter without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise properly.
7. Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
8. Gather any scraps of dough, gently pat them together, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
9. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they're golden brown on top and cooked through.
10. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Serve these Southern Buttermilk Biscuits warm with butter and your favorite jam or gravy for a taste of Southern comfort that'll warm your soul. Enjoy every flaky, buttery bite!

I've made them countless times, and there's nothing like that flaky, buttery goodness straight out of the oven.

our Southern Buttermilk Biscuit recipe sounds like a true Southern comfort! There's something so satisfying about homemade biscuits straight from the oven. One tip I've found helpful is to handle the dough as little as possible to keep the biscuits tender and flaky. Also, making sure your butter is cold and using a gentle folding technique can help create those perfect layers.
