Ingredients
All-purpose flour
2 cups (Sifted)
Baking powder
1 tablespoon
Sugar
2 teaspoons
Cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon
Baking soda
1/4 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Butter
1/2 cup plus 1/2 stick (Chilled and melted)
Buttermilk
3/4 cup
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3
Cut the chilled butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour in the buttermilk all at once. Gently stir with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together; be careful not to overmix.
5
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it about 10-12 times until it holds together but remains light.
6
Pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits.
7
Dredge each biscuit in the melted butter, ensuring they're thoroughly coated.
8
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about 1 inch apart, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
9
Remove from the oven, brush with any remaining melted butter, and serve warm.
