Butter Buttermilk Biscuits

2️⃣ Make the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (like sand with some pea-sized butter pieces).
3. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently just until the dough comes together—do not overmix.

3️⃣ Shape and Cut

4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 2–3 times to bring it together.
5. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
6. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or a floured glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down—don’t twist—to ensure a proper rise.
7. Gather scraps, re-pat, and cut again until all dough is used.

4️⃣ Bake

• Place biscuits on a baking sheet, close together for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
• Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
• Optional: Brush with melted butter immediately after baking for extra flavor and shine.
