Here’s a heartfelt recipe for Biscuits from the Heart—soft, flaky, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or just snacking. These are classic, buttery biscuits made with care.
Biscuits from the Heart
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tsp lemon juice)
- 1 tsp sugar (optional, for a slight sweetness)
Optional: melted butter for brushing, herbs, or shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the butter:
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the cold butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add buttermilk:
- Pour in buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
- Shape biscuits:
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat to about ¾ inch thick.
- Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter or a glass.
- Bake:
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching for soft sides or spaced apart for crisp edges.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Brush warm biscuits with melted butter. Serve with jam, honey, or gravy.
💡 Tips:
- Keep butter cold for flaky layers.
- Don’t twist the cutter when shaping biscuits—it seals the edges and reduces rise.
- For a special touch, sprinkle shredded cheese or herbs on top before baking.
