Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray pan with cooking spray; set pan aside.
- Place buttermilk in freezer for ~15 minutes.
- Using a large bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda; whisk together until well combined.
- Using a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and cold buttermilk.
- Add buttermilk mixture to bowl with dry ingredients. Stir until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Note: The dough should be fairly stiff. If it’s too wet, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until fairly stiff.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 30-45 seconds and then press dough into a 6”x6” square.
- Using a 2½” round cookie cutter dipped in flour, press down without twisting cutter. Place biscuits 1½” apart on the lined baking sheet. Reroll scraps as needed until all dough has been used.
- Place pan in freezer for ~15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Whisk egg with 1 Tbsp of water; brush egg wash on top of biscuits.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until tops are light golden brown in color.
