Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream

For Finishing

  • 1/4 cup Melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, baking soda, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  2. Prepare Butter: Cut the cold butter into small pieces to help incorporate it evenly into the dry ingredients for flaky biscuits.
  3. Add Butter to Dry Mixture: Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, mix the cold butter pieces into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Liquids: Measure out the buttermilk and heavy cream, then pour them into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spoon until a soft dough forms, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness to ensure fluffy biscuits with a tender crumb.
  6. Cut Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out the biscuits and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, slightly touching for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
  7. Brush with Butter: Generously brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to get a golden and flavorful crust.
  8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the biscuits for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
  9. Serve: Remove from the oven and enjoy warm, either plain or with your favorite preserves or gravy.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Do not overmix the dough; a light hand ensures tender biscuits.
  • For extra richness, you can substitute the heavy cream with an equal amount of melted butter mixed with milk.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for the best rise.
  • Biscuits are best served fresh but can be reheated in a warm oven for a few minutes.
