Ingredients For best buttermilk biscuits

  • 2 c
    all purose flour
  • 1 Tbsp
    baking powder
  • 2 tsp
    granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp
    cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp

How To Make best buttermilk biscuits

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 450. In a large bowl, stir together all dry ingredients.
  • 2
    Knead in butter, but leave clumps pea sized as the clumps produce a flaky biscuit.
  • 3
    Stir in buttermilk.
  • 4
    Knead on a lightly floured surface about 10 times. Roll out, but you want this dough thick. At least an inch to an inch and a half thick.
  • 5
    Use a floured biscuit cutter or cup to cut out biscuits. Placing them closely together on a greased or parchment covered cookie sheet will prevent them from toppling over as they rise.
  • 6
    Bake for about 10 mins. Enjoy!
