🥐 Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits – The Recipe My Husband Can’t Get Enough Of!
Introduction: You know those recipes that start as a special-occasion treat but end up becoming a regular request? This is that recipe in our house. My husband is always asking for these buttery, flaky buttermilk biscuits, but I usually save them for holidays or big family breakfasts. Last night, I finally caved and halved the recipe just for the two of us — and oh boy, now I’ve set myself up, because he’s going to want them every week!

🥣 Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, but adds a lovely touch)
Wet Ingredients:
½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
¾ cup cold buttermilk (plus a little extra for brushing)
🧈 Method & Instructions
Preheat the oven: Set it to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Cut in the butter: Add the cold butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with small pea-sized bits of butter.
Add the buttermilk: Pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Don’t overmix!
Form the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about ¾ inch thick. Fold it in half and gently pat it down again — repeat 2 to 3 times to create flaky layers.
Cut out biscuits: Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down (don’t twist!) to help them rise tall. Place them on the baking sheet, sides just touching.
Bake: Brush the tops with a little buttermilk and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve warm: Brush with melted butter, serve with honey or jam, and watch them disappear!
📜 A Little History
Biscuits as we know them today have Southern roots, evolving from British scones in the 19th century. When baking powder and soda became available, home cooks began whipping up quick, soft breads that didn’t need yeast or long rising times. In the American South, buttermilk — a byproduct of making butter — became the secret to creating the tender crumb and tangy flavor we love today.
❤️ For the Lovers of Biscuits (and Each Other!)
These biscuits aren’t just about butter and flour — they’re about love. Whether you’re making them for your partner, your kids, or yourself, there’s something special about the smell of warm biscuits wafting through the kitchen. My husband says they taste like home, comfort, and love baked into every bite.
So if someone requests them “just one more time,” don’t be surprised — they’re simply falling in love all over again, one biscuit at a time.
🍽️ Conclusion
Homemade buttermilk biscuits are simple, satisfying, and soul-soothing. Once you make them, you’ll see why they’re hard to resist — golden on the outside, tender inside, and perfect with butter, jam, or gravy.
