Oven-Baked Buttermilk Biscuits for Breakfast Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Incorporate the Butter:
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Mix in the Buttermilk:
Pour the buttermilk into the flour and butter mixture gradually, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

5. Prepare the Dough:
Lightly flour your work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface, then gently knead it by folding it over itself about 6-8 times to form layers. Pat the dough into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle.

6. Cut the Biscuits:
Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits from the dough, pressing straight down without twisting. Gather and re-roll the scraps to cut additional biscuits.

7. Bake the Biscuits:
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are close together. This will help them rise higher during baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. Cool and Serve:
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm for a delightful breakfast treat.
