Classic Buttermilk Biscuits with Jam

Print Recipe

Flaky, tender, and buttery buttermilk biscuits that are perfect served warm with your favorite jam. A classic comfort food for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plus more for brushing)
  • Jam of choice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add cold butter pieces and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself 2–3 times to create layers, then pat it out again.
  6. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crisp edges.
  7. Brush the tops with additional buttermilk.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm with jam.

Notes

  • Keep all ingredients cold for the flakiest biscuits.
  • Do not twist the biscuit cutter; it can seal the edges and prevent rising.
  • Biscuits can be frozen before or after baking.
