Discover how to make the perfect 5-Ingredient Buttermilk Biscuits every single time. Follow our guide for fluffy, flaky biscuits that are sure to impress.
Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees and then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl: flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together.
Cut your butter up into cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Next, cut in the butter using a fork or a pastry cutter until it turns into a crumb-like texture.
Slowly pour the buttermilk into the dough. Gently stir the mixture using a rubber spatula until all ingredients are combined. Do not overmix.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour until you can touch it without it sticking to your fingers.
Lightly flour your hands and fold the dough over 3-4 times.
Roll the dough out into 1-inch thickness using a lightly floured rolling pin.
Cut out your biscuits using a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter.
Place the biscuits on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from heat and brush the top of each biscuit with the melted butter using a silicone brush
Notes
The biscuits can be stored in a Ziploc bag for up to four days.
I dip my biscuit cutter into some flour to keep it from sticking to the biscuits.
