Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits

Wonder, when was the last time I bake Scones, or commonly known as Biscuits??  Must be quite long ago!  Came across this Buttermilk Biscuits recipe online recently, and thinking how much I miss baking and enjoying them. It's also a favorite of my mum, so shared some with her.  This biscuits are fluffy, soft and buttery.

Ingredients:

2 cups plain flour (sifted)

1 tbsp baking powder (sifted)

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup (113 g) cold unsalted butter (cubed and set aside in the fridge)

3/4 cups cold Buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)

Methods:

1. In a large bowl, mix in flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
2. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.  I use a pastry cutter.
3. Add buttermilk and gently mix. (don't overwork!)
4. Roll dough, fold 2-3 times for layers.
5. Cut biscuits and place close together in a lined baking sheet.
6. Bake in a preheated oven of 220 degree Celsius for 15 minutes until tall and golden.
7. Remove from oven and brush melted butter over the top, and leave it in the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
8. Remove the biscuits onto a cooling rack to let it cool completely, and store them in an airtight container under room temperature.
9. I prefer to lightly toast it in an oven toaster and spread with butter and jam.  I had mine spread with butter and kaya.
