Make moist, tender buttermilk biscuits quickly without rolling or cutting. This simple recipe delivers classic flavor with minimal effort, perfect for busy days.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the cold buttermilk all at once. Stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough will be shaggy.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Each drop should be about two tablespoons of dough for a rustic look.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  7. Serve warm immediately.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use very cold butter and buttermilk.
  • If you prefer slightly sweeter biscuits, add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the dry ingredients.
  • These are the quickest biscuit recipe you will find for a weeknight side.
