Ingredients for Homemade Biscuits

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut them into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the buttermilk until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
2. Shape the Biscuits
- Lightly flour a surface and turn the dough out onto it.
- Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick circle.
- Use a round cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet.
3. Preheat the NuWave Oven
- Preheat the NuWave Oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Bake the Biscuits
- Place the baking sheet in the NuWave Oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time for even browning.
Tips for Perfect Biscuits
- Use cold butter and buttermilk to keep the biscuits flaky.
- Do not overmix the dough, as this will result in tough biscuits.
- Cut the biscuits straight down, without twisting, to prevent them from losing their shape.
- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
- Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.
Variations on Biscuit Recipes
- Add 1/2 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese to the dough for cheesy biscuits.
