All-Purpose Flour: Provides the structure and bulk of the biscuits. Make sure to measure accurately. In my opinion, a kitchen scale is the best way to measure your ingredients. Baking Powder: Acts as a leavening agent, helping the biscuits rise. Make sure it’s not expired or too old. To avoid a chemical aftertaste, use baking powder that is labeled aluminum-free. I usually use the Clabber Girl brand, and though the ingredients state aluminum, I’ve never noticed an aluminum aftertaste. Baking Soda: Works with the buttermilk to create a tender texture. Granulated Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors. Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the biscuits. I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half. Buttermilk (or Homemade Substitute): Adds moisture and tanginess to the dough. You don’t have buttermilk? No problem!! Check out my recipe for Easy Homemade Buttermilk Substitute [Video]. You can also use kefir. Butter: Incorporates richness and flavor into the biscuits. I prefer to use unsalted butter, but if you only have salted butter handy, you can use it. In this case, skip the salt called in the recipe.
Step 1 – Mix Dry Ingredients
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
Step 2 – Combine Wet Ingredients
Combine cold buttermilk and the slightly cooled melted butter in a medium bowl. Stir with a spatula until combined and small clumps form. It is ok if the mixture is lumpy.
Step 4 – Scoop Out
Grease with cooking spray a ¼-cup dry measuring cup. Alternatively, you can use a large cookie scoop. Fill the cup or scoop with biscuit batter and drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. The biscuit shape doesn’t have to be perfect. Repeat with remaining batter, spacing biscuits about 2 inches apart.
Step 4 – Bake
Bake on the middle rack until the biscuit tops are golden brown, about 12 to 14 minutes.
