The Easiest Fluffy Biscuits. Ever.

Every time I post a photo of these in my Instagram stories, I get requests for the recipe. So here it is! Enjoy.

Preheat your oven to 400° F. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.

In a large bowl, combine:

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 cup buttermilk (substitutions noted below)

In a separate bowl, stir:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour (see note below about gluten free)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp everything bagel spice mix

Once the dry ingredients are well combined, toss them into the wet ingredients and mix. You should end up with a sticky dough. Using a large cookie or muffin scoop, form six biscuits, and place spread apart on your prepared baking sheet.

Melt a little extra butter and brush it on top of the biscuits. (Confession: I often skip this step. It makes for a prettier biscuit but doesn’t add much to the flavor and I’m all for time savers!)

Bake for 20–25 minutes until they are puffy and slightly browned.

Notes:

I’ve made this recipe with both regular all-purpose flour and Bob’s Redmill Gluten Free 1-to-1 baking mix. The regular biscuits turn out a bit fluffier, but both are delicious. When using the GF mix, you may need a little less flour so start with 1¾ cup and add a little more if the dough seems too wet.

The buttermilk and butter adds a nice dose of moisture to these biscuits. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute with ½ cup of milk and ½ cup of sour cream or thick greek yogurt.

The bagel spice mix has plenty of salt mixed in so I don’t add any extra salt to my biscuits. If you decide to leave the spice out, you’ll want to add a bit of salt, maybe ¼–½ tsp to give the batter some flavor.

I’ve made this dough in lots of variations and they’ve all been delicious. Add shredded cheddar for a cheesy biscuit. Replace the bagel spice with a variety of chopped fresh herbs (chives, dill, rosemary and thyme would all be lovely) and a bit of salt. Have fun with it!
