Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together all Dry Ingredients.
Cut in the Cold Unsalted Butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the Buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat down to about inch thickness.
Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Do not twist the cutter.
Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, close together for softer sides, or spaced apart for crispier sides.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
