Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Stir in the cold buttermilk just until combined — do not overmix.

5. Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a rectangle, and fold into thirds. Repeat this 2–3 times.

6. Pat dough to about 3/4 to 1 inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.

7. Place biscuits on the baking sheet, close together for softer sides, or spaced apart for crispier edges.

8. Brush tops with buttermilk and bake for 13–16 minutes until golden.

9. Remove and brush with melted butter. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

For extra flaky layers, don’t skip the folding technique — it’s what gives structure and texture.

Use very cold butter and buttermilk for the flakiest, tallest biscuits possible.

Avoid twisting the biscuit cutter; press straight down for a clean rise.
