These angel biscuits are light, soft, and practically dissolve in your mouth. Perfect for cozy meals and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together buttermilk and vanilla extract if using. Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 3 to 4 times. Pat into a ¾-inch (2 cm) thick rectangle, folding the dough over itself a couple of times to create layers.
  6. Using a 2.5 to 3-inch biscuit cutter or glass rim dipped in flour, cut out rounds from the dough. Press straight down without twisting. Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until tops are golden and biscuits have risen.
  8. Optional: Brush warm biscuits with melted butter immediately after baking.

Notes

Keep all ingredients as cold as possible for flaky layers. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to ensure proper rise. Chill dough for 10 minutes if too sticky. For soft sides, place biscuits close together; for crispier edges, space them out. Brush warm biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor.
