Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ¾ cup cold unsalted butter cubed
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- 4 tbsp melted butter for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and grease a cast-iron skillet or baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in cold buttermilk and stir just until combined—do not overmix.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Fold dough over itself 2–3 times, then gently pat down again to 1-inch thickness.
- Cut biscuits with a floured 2½-inch cutter and place in prepared pan.
- Brush tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Brush with more melted butter before serving.
Notes
Use frozen grated butter for ultra-flaky layers. Don’t overmix the dough—handle it as little as possible. Serve warm with honey, jam, or sausage gravy.
