I got this recipe from a combination of videos and I just took parts and put them together. Best homemade biscuits I have ever tasted, even if I do say so myself.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • ½ cup unsalted butter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons baking powder

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup buttermilk

  • ¼ cup melted butter, or as needed, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Divide 1/2 cup butter into 12 to 16 small chunks.

  3. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Mix in butter chunks using a pastry blender. Make a well in the middle of the mixture; pour in buttermilk. Mix until dough comes together.

  4. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until just formed together. Cut discs out of dough using a cookie cutter or a cup. Butter both sides of cut biscuit dough with 1/4 cup melted butter. Place biscuits onto a baking sheet.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with remaining 1/4 cup melted butter while hot. Serve.

Cook's Note:

Every time you have downtime on any ingredient, keep it in the refrigerator. I usually keep mine in the freezer since it doesn't take long to move to the next step in the recipe.
