These homemade buttermilk biscuits are buttery and tender. Ice-cold butter and some extra dough folding are key to having lots of flaky layers in each golden brown biscuit.
Step1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Step2
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add cold butter slices and cut into the flour with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step3
Make a well in the center of the mixture. Pour cold buttermilk into the well and stir gently until just combined.
Step4
Turn dough onto a floured work surface and pat it together into a rectangle.
Step5
Fold the rectangle in thirds. Turn dough a half turn, gather any crumbs, and flatten back into a rectangle. Repeat twice more, folding and pressing the dough a total of three times.
Step6
Roll dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut biscuits. Reroll any scraps to cut more biscuits; you should get 12 total.
Step7
Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Press an indent into the top of each biscuit with your thumb. Brush buttermilk over the tops.
Step8
Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are flaky and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Enjoy!
