Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more if needed)

Optional Add-ins:

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (like chives or parsley)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in buttermilk and stir until just combined. If the dough seems too dry, add a splash more buttermilk.
Fold in any optional add-ins if using.
Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until tops are lightly golden.
Optional: Brush hot biscuits with melted butter right after baking for extra flavor.
Let cool slightly and serve warm.
