Description
Quick and fluffy 3-Ingredient Buttermilk Biscuits that are easy to make and delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 stick frozen butter (salted or unsalted) (1/2 cup) + more for brushing
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F.
- Add flour into a large bowl.
- Grate the frozen butter into the flour.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir with a rubber spatula until a dough forms.
- Lightly flour a work surface, and turn the dough out onto the work surface.
- Flour your hands and gently knead the dough, adding more flour as needed but not too much. Dough should be slightly sticky.
- Fold the dough several times to create layers, working quickly to prevent the dough from warming.
- Finally, pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 4 biscuits. Regather the dough and pat it back out to cut the remaining biscuits.
- Place biscuits on a baking sheet, with the sides touching.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes.
- Brush the tops lightly with extra melted butter during the last minute or two and switch the oven to broil to brown the tops if needed.
- As soon as biscuits come out of the oven, brush with melted butter twice, allowing it to absorb between brushing.
Notes
- Read the tips in the notes before proceeding.
- Work quickly to prevent the dough from warming, which could result in a flat, dry biscuit.
- Keep an eye on the biscuits while broiling as the browning happens quickly.
