Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits

 Ingredients

(Makes 8–10 biscuits)

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

¾ cup (180ml) cold buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice)

2 tablespoons heavy cream or melted butter (for brushing)

Optional Add-Ins: Shredded cheese, fresh herbs, or cooked, crumbled bacon for extra decadence.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter. This step ensures flaky layers in your biscuits.

Step 4: Add the Buttermilk

Gradually pour in the cold buttermilk, stirring gently with a fork or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 5: Shape the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Fold the dough into thirds (like folding a letter) and gently pat it out again. Repeat this process 2–3 times to create flaky layers.

Step 6: Cut and Arrange

Using a round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press the cutter straight down without twisting to help the biscuits rise evenly.

Gather any scraps, gently press them together, and cut out additional biscuits.

Step 7: Brush and Bake

Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream or melted butter for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Step 8: Serve Warm

Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush with more melted butter, if desired. Serve warm with honey, jam, or gravy.
