Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Directions:
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Cut in butter:
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk:
Pour the cold buttermilk into the flour and butter mixture.
Stir gently with a fork until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough:
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead gently until the dough comes together, being careful not to overwork it.
Shape and cut the cookies:
Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a cookie cutter or a round glass to cut out cookies, rerolling any scraps if necessary.
Bake:
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Serve:
Serve warm with your favorite jam, butter, or honey.
These cookies are tender and fluffy, making them a delicious treat for breakfast or teatime. Enjoy fresh from the oven with a generous helping of your favorite jam!
