These Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits are incredibly flaky, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Made with simple ingredients like chilled butter and cold buttermilk, they bake up golden brown and perfect for any meal. Optional add-ins like cheese, herbs, or bacon can make them even more indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  2. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  3. 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  4. ½ teaspoon salt
  5. ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  6. ¾ cup (180ml) cold buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice)
  7. 2 tablespoons heavy cream or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in the Butter:
    Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. Add the Buttermilk:
    Gradually pour in the cold buttermilk, stirring gently with a fork or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
  5. Shape the Dough:
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
    Fold the dough into thirds (like folding a letter) and gently pat it out again. Repeat this process 2–3 times to create flaky layers.
  6. Cut and Arrange:
    Using a round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press the cutter straight down without twisting to help the biscuits rise evenly.
    Gather any scraps, gently press them together, and cut out additional biscuits.
  7. Brush and Bake:
    Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream or melted butter for a golden finish.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
  8. Serve Warm:
    Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush with more melted butter, if desired. Serve warm with honey, jam, or gravy.

 

Notes

  • For extra richness, add shredded cheese, fresh herbs, or crumbled bacon to the dough before shaping.
  • Biscuits are best served warm and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
