Easy Buttermilk Biscuits from Scratch

Three ingredients and one bowl (or food processor) are all you need for delectable, flaky, buttery Southern-style biscuits.

This recipe makes eight Southern classic biscuits.

1. I typically cut the frozen butter into small cubes. You can also grate it.
2. Next, I add the sifted flour and butter to the food processor and pulse it until it looks crumbly.
3. Add the buttermilk to the food processor through the top lid and pulse until the dough comes together. It will stick together and pull away from the side of the bowl.
4. Using your (clean) hands or a spatula dump the dough onto parchment paper or waxed paper that’s been floured.
5. Press the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness then fold it over itself. Repeat the two more times.
6. Finally, cut the biscuits into any shape you want.

I like to bake biscuits on a cast-iron skillet greased with Crisco or oil. Bake them at 425°F until they’re golden brown.

Much like when making a pie crust, use cold butter, and cut it into cubes.

I pulsed the butter and flour together until it looked crumbly.
Next, I poured in the buttermilk and processed it until just combined. Don’t overwork the dough.

Part of the secret to fluffy biscuits is no kneading or rolling the dough. I pat mine out very lightly to the thickness I want, then I cut them with a biscuit cutter.

Do you use cast-iron skillets to bake biscuits?
