### Directions
#### 1. **Preheat the Oven and Prepare Your Baking Sheet**
Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). While the oven is heating up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking, or lightly grease the baking sheet.
#### 2. **Combine Dry Ingredients**
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This step is crucial for distributing the dry ingredients evenly, ensuring your biscuits rise uniformly and have a balanced flavor.
#### 3. **Cut in the Butter**
Next, you’ll add the cold butter. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter. This step is important for creating those tender, flaky layers in the biscuits.
**Tip**: Keep the butter cold throughout the process. If the butter starts to melt, the biscuits won’t rise as well, and the texture may be less flaky.
#### 4. **Add the Buttermilk**
Make a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Use a fork to stir the mixture gently until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough—this will ensure that your biscuits stay light and fluffy.
**Tip**: If the dough feels too dry, add a little more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. The dough should be somewhat sticky, but not overly wet.
#### 5. **Turn the Dough onto a Floured Surface**
Flour your work surface lightly and turn the biscuit dough out onto it. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. For extra flaky layers, fold the dough in half and then pat it out again. Repeat this process two to three times—this is what creates those delicious layers in the finished biscuits.
#### 6. **Cut the Biscuits**
Using a floured biscuit cutter (or a glass if you don’t have one), cut out your biscuits. Press the cutter straight down without twisting to maintain the layers of dough. Gently press the remaining dough together and cut out any additional biscuits. You should end up with about 8-10 biscuits, depending on the size of your cutter.
**Tip**: For biscuits that are soft and fluffy, it’s best to place them close together on the baking sheet. This helps the biscuits rise upward instead of spreading out.
#### 7. **Bake the Biscuits**
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them as they bake, as oven temperatures can vary.
#### 8. **Brush with Butter and Serve**
Once the biscuits are golden brown, remove them from the oven and brush the tops with the melted butter for an extra layer of flavor and shine. Let them cool slightly before serving.
These buttery buttermilk biscuits are best served warm, fresh out of the oven. You can enjoy them on their own, or pair them with jam, honey, butter, or even sausage gravy for a truly indulgent experience.
