Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cream of tartar, and sugar.
- Using a box grater or hand-held grater, grate the butter into the flour mixture. Alternately, use a fork, your fingers, or a pastry cutter to mix the butter into the flour mixture. Combine until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, combining until just incorporated. The mixture will be crumbly. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Use your hands to lightly press together until the dough is 3/4-inch thick.
- Using a 2-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out rounds and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Rework the remaining scraps of dough to cut out more rounds until all the dough has been used.
- Brush biscuits with heavy cream and bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
