Fluffy Buttery Square Biscuits – Homemade and Heavenly

Golden, flaky, and buttery to the core—these homemade square biscuits are the ultimate comfort food. Unlike round biscuits that often get overworked in the re-rolling process, square biscuits maximize every inch of dough, reducing waste and delivering tender layers in every bite. Whether served warm with honey or butter, or turned into a savory breakfast sandwich, these biscuits are a must-have recipe for your kitchen.

At deesviral, we believe in simple recipes that deliver bakery-quality results—and this biscuit recipe is proof. Perfect for lazy weekend brunches, family dinners, or a quick weekday treat.

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk and honey (if using). Stir gently with a fork just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

5. Fold for Layers: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat into a rectangle, then fold it like a letter (in thirds). Rotate, pat again, and repeat the fold once more. This creates flaky layers.

6. Shape and Cut: Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into squares using a sharp knife. Place on the prepared baking sheet, sides touching for softer edges or spaced out for crisper sides.

7. Bake: Brush the tops with extra buttermilk and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and puffed.

8. Finish: Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter for that irresistible glossy finish.

Serving Suggestion:

These square biscuits are best served warm. Split them open and fill with scrambled eggs and bacon for a savory breakfast, or drizzle with jam and cream for a sweet afternoon treat. They also freeze beautifully—just reheat in the oven for a fresh-baked feel anytime.
