Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 2 tablespoons warm water (around 105 to 110 F)
  • 2 3/4  cups (348 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (5 ounces) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In the bowl of the food processor, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix.
  2. Add the butter: Scatter the cold cubed butter over the flour mixture. Pulse in short bursts—about 8 to 10 times—until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to over-process; visible small bits of butter are what you want.
  3. Add liquids: Pour in the cold buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Pulse just until the dough starts to come together and form clumps.

  4. Roll the dough and cut the biscuits: Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough to 1 inch thick and cut using a 2 to 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Place the biscuits close together in a 10-inch skillet or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
