These golden buttermilk biscuits are fluffy, flavorful, and perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and a golden crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Sifting the dry ingredients helps to aerate the mixture, resulting in lighter biscuits.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using cold butter ensures flaky layers in the biscuits.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
Whisking helps to evenly distribute the egg in the buttermilk.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times.
Over-kneading can make the biscuits tough, so handle the dough lightly.
Roll the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut into circles using a biscuit cutter.
Press straight down with the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise evenly.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotating the baking sheet halfway through can ensure even browning.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter or jam.
Enjoy the biscuits fresh out of the oven for the best flavor and texture.
