Biscuits Recipe

I have tried many biscuits recipes and this is the BEST homemade biscuits recipe ever, with high, flaky layers that are buttery and crumbly. This Southern Buttermilk Biscuits recipe is from Leite’s Culinaria, a trusted source for amazing recipes.

How To Make Biscuits At Home

Homemade biscuits are so easy to make as this recipe calls for only three (3) ingredients:

Cold, unsalted butter Self-raising flour Buttermilk

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients. The method is very easy. You just basically mix all the ingredients together, knead and then cut the biscuit dough into round shapes. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes for the best homemade biscuits. The recipe is without additional baking powder in the recipe. The taste is absolutely delicious; there is no after taste of baking powder or baking soda, which I find unpleasant in many biscuits recipes you find online.

Baking Tips

Use cold butter. It’s very important because cold butter will make sure that the biscuits are crumbly after baking. For the lightest and airy texture, please use Whitelily Flour self rising flour. Cut the cold butter into the flour with a pastry blender. The pastry blender is a great tool to make the dough mixture crumbly. Do not over mix the dough. It should be dry looking and resemble small peas.
