Amish Buttermilk Biscuits

Recipe View 5 mins Preheat your oven to a robust 450°F (232°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Pour the cold buttermilk into the bowl. Gently stir with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be shaggy. (3 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Using a 3 1/2-inch biscuit cutter (or a sharp knife), cut out the biscuits. Arrange 6 biscuits in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, with the edges touching, and place the remaining biscuit in the center. This ensures even baking and helps the biscuits rise tall. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 14 mins Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 14 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (14 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
