The perfect, simple recipe for an all purpose biscuit. Feel free to add cheese and herbs to jazz it up and serve with dinner! This recipe will yield about 20 biscuits. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cubed small)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (If you do not have buttermilk, simply add 1 tbsp of lemon juice or white vinegar to a measuring cup, plus enough milk to make 1 cup - let stand for five minutes)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F
  • Whisk together dry ingredients
  • Add butter and mix together by hand. Work butter into flour by squeezing the cubes with your fingers and incorporating into the flour mixture
  • Optional: add any desired cheeses or herbs
  • Pour in buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon until dough is formed
  • Using a cookie scoop, make 20 biscuits on two lined baking sheets - I like to use parchment paper to keep them from sticking
  • Bake until edges are golden brown. About 10 minutes
