What’s better than a biscuit hot from the oven? Make a batch tonight with this easy recipe.
Step 1: Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Mix dry ingredients
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Step 3: Add butter
Mix the butter pieces into the flour mixture with your fingers until the texture is coarse.
Step 4: Add buttermilk
Stir in the buttermilk with a fork until the mixture is a moist, sticky dough.
Step 5: Knead the dough
Turn the dough onto a flat, lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times. Then, flatten it with your hands and a lightly floured rolling pin until it’s an even half-inch thick.
Step 6: Cut out rounds
Using a lightly floured biscuit cutter, cut out as many rounds as you can. Put them on an ungreased baking sheet, spaced two inches apart. Then re-knead the leftover dough so you can squeeze out a few more.
Tip
If you don’t care about uniformity, just cut out rectangular sections of the dough with a floured knife.
Step 7: Glaze the tops
Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the beaten egg.
Step 8: Bake
Bake until golden brown on top, about 15 minutes. Serve warm with lots of butter!
Did You Know?
In England, “biscuit” refers to a cookie, not a bread roll.
What’s the Cookie Sheet used for?
Omg I love this
Biscuit, Bis- cuit = Latin for twice baked. In Britain it s the harder 'snapable' item as opposed to a soft cookie. Do Americans have hard cookies ?
