Biscuit Mix

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Transfer the biscuit mix to an airtight container or resealable bag. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, measure out 2 1/2 cups of the prepared biscuit mix. Make a well in the center of the mix and pour in the buttermilk. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently stir the mixture until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.

3. Using a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Avoid twisting the cutter as you press down, as this can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising properly. Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one for slight spreading. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through. Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
