Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Grease or line a baking sheet.

2. In a large bowl, cut cold butter into flour using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly (pea-sized bits).

3. Add buttermilk and gently mix until just combined (don’t overmix).

4. Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently pat and fold the dough a few times to build layers (about 4–5 folds).

5. Pat to about 1-inch thickness and cut biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass.

6. Place biscuits in a buttered cast iron skillet or close together on a baking sheet (they rise higher when touching).

7. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until tops are golden.

8. Immediately brush with melted butter after removing from oven.

💡 Tips for “Billion Dollar” Fluffiness:

• Keep your butter cold until mixing.

• Don’t overwork the dough.

• Let biscuits touch slightly when baking for a taller rise.
