Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

3/4 cup homemade buttermilk (mix 2¼ tsp fresh lemon juice + enough whole milk to make 3/4 cup; let sit 5-10 min)

Extra lemon-milk mixture

Melted butter (optional, for brushing after baking)

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Add cold butter and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle, then fold it in thirds like a letter. Repeat 2-3 times for flaky layers.

Pat or roll dough to 1/2-inch thick. Cut using a 2.5" biscuit cutter or glass. Re-roll scraps and cut more biscuits.

Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet. Lightly brush tops with the reserved lemon-milk mixture.

Bake for 17-20 minutes or until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes.

(Optional) Brush warm biscuits with melted butter for extra richness and sheen.
