Ingredients
- 1 package active dry yeast, 2 1/4 teaspoons
- 2 tablespoons warm water, around 105 to 110 F
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 348 grams
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt, I use fine sea salt
- 5 ounces unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
- 1 cup buttermilk, cold
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream, or melted butter
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Add liquids: Pour in the cold buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Pulse just until the dough starts to come together and form clumps.
- 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.
- Let rise: Cover with a towel and let them rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush the tops with cream or melted butter.
- Bake: Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
