Here’s a warm, comforting recipe for Biscuits from the Heart 💛 — soft, fluffy, buttery biscuits made the old-fashioned way.
🧈 Biscuits from the Heart
🧂 Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾–1 cup cold buttermilk
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
3️⃣ Cut in Butter
- Add cold butter cubes.
- Use a pastry cutter or fingertips to work butter into flour until mixture looks like coarse crumbs (pea-sized pieces are perfect).
4️⃣ Add Buttermilk
- Pour in ¾ cup buttermilk and gently stir until dough just comes together.
- Add a little more if needed — dough should be slightly sticky but not wet.
5️⃣ Shape
- Turn dough onto a floured surface.
- Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Fold in half and gently pat down (this creates flaky layers).
- Repeat fold once more, then cut with a biscuit cutter.
6️⃣ Bake
- Place biscuits close together for softer sides or spaced apart for crisp edges.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
7️⃣ Finish
- Brush tops with melted butter while warm.
❤️ Serve With
- Honey or jam
- Sausage gravy
- Fried chicken
- Butter and a drizzle of maple syrup
💡 Tips for Extra Fluffy Biscuits
- Keep butter and buttermilk very cold.
- Don’t overwork the dough.
- Twist-free cuts (press straight down) help them rise evenly.
