Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons butter, cut into squares
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425ºF.
- 2
Using your stand mixer on low with the standard whisk attachment, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together.
- 3
Turn mixer onto medium speed, then cut butter into mixture until it begins to look like cornmeal.
- 4
Switch out the whisk attachment for your dough hook attachment. Turn the mixer onto medium speed again, slowly adding in the buttermilk in 3 additions. Mix just until the dough comes together.
- 5
Take the dough from the hook and roll it onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, spead the dough out until it is 1 inch in thickness. Cut the dough using a metal cookie cutter.
- 6
Place the dough onto a greased baking sheet, then brush with your beaten egg (this is optional, but will give the biscuits a shiny golden-brown top, so I always do it).
- 7
Bake for 15 minutes, or until your biscuits are golden brown on the top and slightly firm to the touch. Eat immediately with jam, eggs, cheese, on their own, whatever.
