- Bake for about 10-15 minutes until the biscuits are beautifully risen and golden brown.

Notes
- Hot oven-For the perfect and most tender buttermilk biscuit, start with a very hot oven, about 425 degrees.
- A lot of baking powder- I use a lot of baking powder, like a LOT. Most recipes call for about 2-3 teaspoons; for these biscuits, I use five teaspoons for a nice lift. This, combined with the acidity in the buttermilk, will give you the tall biscuits you’re looking for.
- Chilled Ingredients-Make sure your ingredients are chilled before putting them in the hot oven. I use chilled butter, and you can even chill your flour for the best results.
- Layering- After you have made the biscuit dough, press it into a rectangle. Fold one-third over the center, then the other third over that. This will create additional layering that gives you a better rise.
