Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe
This homemade Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe is perfectly flaky, tender, and fluffy to make them the perfect Southern treat.
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ sticks ice-cold unsalted butter, 22 tbsp
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Grate the butter using a hand grater.
- In a stand mixer with the hook attachment, add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and butter and mix on low speed until combined.
- In a separate medium-size bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until combined.
- Pour the buttermilk and eggs into the stand mixer bowl and mix on low speed until combined.
- Transfer the biscuit dough to a clean surface lightly dusted with flour.
- Dust the top of the dough with flour and roll it out until it is 1 ½” to 2” thick.
- Using a circle cutter that is roughly 2 ½ to 3 inches in diameter, cut as many dough rounds as possible.
- Transfer them to a large cast-iron skillet (12 inches) or casserole dish (13x9) about ½ to 1 inch apart. There will be plenty of leftover dough to reroll and recut. You should get 20 to 22 biscuits in total. You will need a second smaller skillet or casserole dish for the rerolled and cut dough.
- Bake in the oven for 26-30 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked in the center.
Notes
Make-Ahead: You can make the biscuits and strawberries up to 2 days ahead for freshness.
How to Store: The biscuits can be stored covered at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator covered for up to 5 days. They will freeze covered for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before serving.
How to Reheat: If you want to serve the biscuits warm, add them to a pan and cover with foil. Bake in the oven at 350° for 6 to 8 minutes or until warm.
Cooking the biscuits close together ensures they will not fall as they bake since they assist in holding one another up.
