Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (plus extra for brushing)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • Extra maple syrup, for serving (optional)
  • Fresh berries or sliced bananas (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter and blend with a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in buttermilk and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold in half, rotate, and repeat twice for layers.
  6. Use a 2.5-inch round cutter to stamp out biscuits. Gather scraps and repeat until all dough is used (about 8 biscuits).
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon for the egg wash.
  8. Dip each biscuit lightly in the egg wash, coating all sides, then place on the baking sheet. Brush tops with extra egg wash.
  9. Bake for 14-16 minutes, rotating pan halfway, until biscuits are puffed and edges are golden brown.
  10. Let biscuits cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack.
  11. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with berries or bananas if desired.

Notes

Keep butter and dough cold for fluffiest biscuits. Don’t overwork the dough. For extra crispy edges, brush with melted butter before and after baking. Biscuits can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with simple swaps. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
