Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar optional
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk cold
  • 2 tablespoons extra buttermilk for brushing, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly blended.
  • Add cold, cubed butter and work it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fingertips until coarse crumbs form.
  • Pour in cold buttermilk, stirring gently until the dough just holds together—avoid overmixing.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, fold over 5-6 times to create layers, then pat or roll to ¾-inch thickness.
  • Dip a 2½-inch cutter in flour and press straight down into dough. Place rounds on prepared sheet; reroll scraps.
  • Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes, rotating pan halfway, until golden brown on top and bottom.
  • Brush warm biscuits with extra buttermilk or melted butter, then serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours; freeze baked or unbaked biscuits in airtight bags for up to 2 months.
