Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted cold butter cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup liquid cold buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450-degrees.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium-sized bowl.
- Add the butter and mix into the flour with a fork or pastry blender until you end up with little pea-sized bits.
- Add the cold buttermilk and stir until combined.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and flatten out to about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough into thirds, roll it down to 1", then turn the dough, and repeat the process 4x to yield the layers.
- Cut out the biscuits and place into a buttered iron skillet or onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
If the mixture is too thick, add one teaspoon of buttermilk at a time until it's at the right texture.
If it's too liquidy, add a tablespoon of flour until it reaches the right texture. You want it to be a little sticky.
