30-minute Homemade Biscuits Recipe
Baking up a batch of buttery homemade biscuits is as easy as following my simple and easy recipe. You need only a handful of ingredients and you and your family can add this one to your breakfast recipe repertoire.
Equipment
- 1 Donut cutter
- 1 box grater
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-Purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk or whole milk
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter frozen
Extras
- 2 tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉
- Grate the frozen butter using the box grater and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add in the grated butter and work into the flour till cumbly.
- Begin incorporating the cold. buttermilk into the flour mixture, use your other hand to bring the mixture into a mould. This does not require kneading, just till the dough comes together, it will be a bit crumbly.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface, when it has come together nicely, use your palms to flatten out the dough in preparation for the lamination process.
- Fold in once on each side, flatten out using your palms, fold in once again on each side, repeat this process about 5 times to increase the layers your biscuits end up with. Finally flatten out to about 1½" thickness.
- Use your donut or biscuit cutter (a glass cup with rounded edges can be used) to cut out your biscuits and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Remould leftover dough, flatten out with your palms and cut out some more biscuits.
- Transfer to your oven to bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown and crisp.
- Brush with the melted butter while still fresh from the oven.
- Enjoy!
