Rosa’s Biscuits
Serves24
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
- 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces; plus 6 Tbsp. (¾ stick), melted
- ¾ cup chilled buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1½ tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add chilled butter and toss to coat. Work butter into flour mixture with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal with several pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
- Using a fork, gently mix in buttermilk, then gently knead just until dough comes together (do not overmix).
- Pinch off pieces of dough and gently roll into 1” balls; place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2” apart (you should have about 24). If butter softens too much while you are working, chill dough until firm before baking, 15–20 minutes.
- Bake biscuits until golden brown, 25–30 minutes. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with more salt. Serve warm.
