6 Ingredient Homemade Biscuits
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
– 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps of butter remaining.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Add honey if using. Stir everything together until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The dough will be shaggy and slightly sticky.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough over onto itself in thirds, like you’re folding a letter. Pat it down into a 1-inch thick rectangle again.
6. Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are touching.
7. Bake the biscuits for 15-18 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on top and cooked through.
8. Once done, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
Enjoy these homemade biscuits with a dollop of jam, a drizzle of honey, or a pat of butter. They also make a delightful addition to any breakfast or brunch spread, and are perfect for sopping up gravy at dinner. Feel free to experiment with adding grated cheese, herbs, or spices to customize these biscuits to your liking.
So, the next time you’re in the mood for some cozy baking, give this easy 6 Ingredient Homemade Biscuits recipe a try and bring a taste of warmth and comfort to your home.
