Using a round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press the cutter straight down without twisting to help the biscuits rise evenly.
Gather any scraps, gently press them together, and cut out additional biscuits.
Step 7: Brush and Bake
Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream or melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Step 8: Serve Warm
Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush with more melted butter, if desired. Serve warm with honey, jam, or gravy.
Pro Tips
Keep It Cold: Use chilled butter and cold buttermilk to create the flakiest biscuits.
Don’t Overwork the Dough: Handle the dough as little as possible to keep the biscuits tender.
Add Flavor: For a “billion-dollar” twist, mix in shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.
