🧈 Mile High Perfect Biscuits
Tender, flaky, and sky-high — the ultimate biscuit recipe for any occasion!
⏱️ Time:
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Bake Time: 12–15 minutes
- Total Time: ~25 minutes
✅ Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)
- Optional: 1 tsp sugar for a hint of sweetness
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar (if using). - Cut in butter:
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. - Add buttermilk:
Gently stir in buttermilk until dough just comes together. Don’t overmix. - Fold for layers:
Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Pat into a rectangle and fold into thirds (like a letter). Repeat 2–3 times, gently patting each time. - Cut biscuits:
Roll or pat dough to 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter (don’t twist!) and place biscuits close together on the baking sheet. - Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter if desired.
🍽️ Serving Size:
- Makes about 8–10 biscuits
📝 Tips & Notes:
- Cold ingredients = tall biscuits! Keep butter and buttermilk cold.
- Folding the dough creates flaky layers — don’t skip it.
- No buttermilk? Use 3/4 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar.
- Bake biscuits close together for taller sides.
