Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Shape the biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
5. Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
