Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter + 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions
 

  • 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.
