Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 1/3 | all-purpose flour |
| 3 | sugar |
| 4 | cornstarch |
| 1 | baking powder |
| 1/4 | salt |
| 1/4 | butter (cold, cubed) |
| 3/4 | buttermilk |
| 1 | egg |
Instructions
Let’s get baking!
-
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
Sift the all-purpose flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. 🌾
-
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. You can use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles fine meal.
-
In a separate small bowl, beat together the buttermilk and egg until well blended. 🥚
-
Pour the buttermilk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until just combined, being careful not to overmix. You want a slightly shaggy dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
-
Roll the dough out to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Use a floured 2-inch (5 cm) cutter to cut out your biscuits. 🍪
-
Gather any scraps of dough and re-roll them to make more biscuits. Waste not, want not!
-
Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the biscuits are beautifully golden-brown, about 25-30 minutes. Your kitchen will smell amazing! 🌟
-
Cool the biscuits slightly on a wire rack before serving. These are best enjoyed warm with a generous slathering of butter. 🧈

Tips for Perfect Biscuits
- Cold Butter: Make sure your butter is cold. This helps create those lovely, flaky layers in your biscuits.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
- Flour your Cutter: To prevent the dough from sticking to your cutter, dip it in flour before cutting out each biscuit.
- Uniform Size: Try to make your biscuits the same size so they bake evenly.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are at their best when served warm from the oven. Enjoy the butter melting into every delicious bite!
