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.Recipes Tasteful+2Tasty+2Viral Recipes+2

Add the Buttermilk: Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.worldofcooking.net
-
Form the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down (don’t twist!) for the best rise. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until the dough is used up.worldofcooking.net+1Recipes Tasteful+1

Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together (touching slightly) for soft edges or spaced apart for crispier edges. Brush the tops with melted butter or heavy cream. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on top.worldofcooking.net

Serve and Enjoy: Serve the biscuits warm with more butter, honey, jam, or gravy – or enjoy them plain as they’re rich enough on their own!worldofcooking.net
