    How to Make Buttermilk Biscuits

    There's nothing better than fresh buttermilk biscuits coming warm out of the oven on a lazy weekend morning. If you've always want to learn how to make buttermilk biscuits at home, you'll love this quick and easy recipe! 

    plate of homemade buttermilk biscuits and jam

    Call me anything but old fashioned, because I have never actually made homemade buttermilk biscuits until today.

    I grew up eating those canned, refrigerated biscuits. The ones we all know and love

    And if we're being honest, they are pretty delicious in their own right.

    But there's nothing quite like a fresh, homemade buttermilk biscuit. The kind you can only get in your favorite breakfast joint.

    So I thought it was time I learned how to make buttermilk biscuits for myself. And after much experimentation, I think I've mastered it.

    So if you're looking for the best buttermilk biscuits around, then you've come to the right place!

    Once you've made these homemade buttermilk biscuits, you might never go back to making those canned biscuits again.

    How to Make Buttermilk Biscuits

    You won't believe how ridiculously easy and fast these buttermilk biscuits are to make.

    To start, heat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

    mixing flour for buttermilk biscuits

    Then, mix together all your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

    If you want to make this biscuit recipe gluten-free, feel free to substitute your favorite gluten-free baking flour. It should work just as well!

    cutting in the butter for buttermilk biscuits

    Then, cut your butter into thin slices. Then use a sharp knife to cut the butter pieces into the flour until the pieces are small.

    We do this to make sure the butter is spread throughout the flour mixture so that all your biscuits turn out equally fluffy and creamy.

    Then add in the buttermilk, incorporating it into the flour mixture slowly.

    Now mix everything together. You can use an electric mixer, like I used, but mixing by hand is just as good.

    mixing the ingredients for homemade buttermilk biscuits

    Sprinkle some flour on your counter or table and knead your buttermilk dough on it for a few minutes.

    Press or roll the dough out so that it's about ½ inch thick. Don't worry, the biscuits will rise and get bigger.

    Then use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits into round shapes.

    Pop the biscuits onto a non-stick pan and put them in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

    I would check them at 10 minutes. You'll just want them to be slightly golden so that they don't burn.

    Then you're ready to slather on some yummy jam or spread!

    Some of my favorites are this homemade strawberry jam or homemade Nutella.

    Oh, and if you have any leftover buttermilk, try out this lemon syrup cake recipe. It's divine.
