Making these biscuits from scratch is much easier than you might think. All it takes is seven simple ingredients and a bit of effort.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 3/4 cup buttermilk

How To Make Butter Buttermilk Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
6. Pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
7. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuits as you can and place them on a baking sheet. Gather the scraps, pat them out again, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
8. Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!
