Bobby Flay Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe

Let’s talk biscuits—Bobby Flay style!
The secret to Flay’s biscuits? Cold ingredients are crucial for that flaky texture.
This recipe uses a simple technique of cutting cold butter into flour to create those distinct layers.
Don't overmix the dough! This is a common mistake that leads to tough biscuits.
I’ll walk you through each step, including Flay’s method for folding the dough.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 12 tbsp Unsalted Butter cold, cubed
  • 2 cups Buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
  • This high heat helps achieve that golden crust.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Use a whisk for even distribution.
  • Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
  • Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in the buttermilk gradually.
  • Stir until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix.
  • Roll out the dough to about ¾-inch thick.
  • Fold the dough in thirds (like a letter). Rotate 90 degrees, pat out again, and repeat the folding process 1-2 more times.
  • Cut biscuits using a round cutter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
