Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the biscuits and minimal cleanup.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. These dry ingredients will create the base of the dough, giving the biscuits their light texture.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Pour in the cold buttermilk and melted butter. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; this will keep the biscuits tender and flaky. The dough will be a little sticky, but that’s perfect!
Shape the Biscuits:
You can either drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet for a more rustic look or gently roll the dough out on a floured surface and cut it into rounds for a more uniform shape.
Optional Toppings:
For extra flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with your favorite herbs or shredded cheese (if desired). This adds a golden, flavorful finish to the biscuits.
Bake:
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and have risen beautifully. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven.
Serve Warm:
Enjoy these biscuits immediately, fresh out of the oven. Serve them with butter, jam, or any spread of your choice. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory side dish to any meal!
