Buttermilk Biscuits

🥘 Ingredients

• flour 2 cups
• salt 1 tsp
• sugar 2 tsp
• baking powder 1 tbsp + 2%tsp
• butter ½ cold stick
• buttermilk ¾ cold

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a deep casserole dish with nonstick spray or rub with oil or butter.
2. 2

   In a medium bowl, add flour , salt , sugar , and baking powder . Whisk together.
3. 3

   Add butter . Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture. If you don't have a pastry cutter you can use a butter knife. Keep cutting the butter until the mixture has mostly come together, with some butter pieces up to the size of a pea.
4. 4

   Add buttermilk . Use a spatula to stir the liquid into the flour mixture until a shaggy dough has formed. Flour your hands and knead the dough in the bowl 3-5 times until the mixture has formed a ball.
5. 5

   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough out to about a 10x12 inch rectangle. Sprinkle with flour as necessary. It doesn't need to be perfect.
6. 6

   Fold the short ends of the dough in by thirds, like you're folding a business letter. Flip the dough over so that the seam side is down, and pat it flat with your hands, or roll the rolling pin over it a couple times to seal the dough together.
7. 7

   Use a serrated knife, scissors, or a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 1 inch strips. Cut each strip into 3 squares. Each square of dough should be about 1x1 or 1x2 inches. It doesn't have to be perfect!
