Serves/Makes: 18
Ready in: < 30 minutes

  • 12 ounces enriched all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 6 tablespoons cold margarine or butter
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup water, or as needed

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and margarine with a pastry cutter. Mix until the mixture is crumbly.

Stir in the buttermilk, egg, and just enough water to form a smooth dough.

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Roll the dough out to 1-inch thick. Cut the dough with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Re-roll the scraps and repeat the process.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown.

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store the biscuits in an airtight container.
