MSG Free Buttermilk Biscuits

Tall, flaky, golden-edged biscuits made entirely from scratch — this is the kind of baking that makes a kitchen feel like home. Every ingredient here is a pantry staple you already know: flour, butter, buttermilk, a little leavening, salt, and sugar. There are no flavor packets, seasoning blends, or processed shortcuts hiding in the list, which means you get pure, clean flavor without any of the additives that can sneak into store-bought versions. The technique is the real magic — grating frozen butter straight into the flour creates those irresistible flaky layers, and the fold-and-pat method builds even more structure without overworking the dough. Chilling the cut biscuits before they hit the oven keeps the butter cold just long enough to puff dramatically in the heat. The result is a biscuit with a deep golden top, pull-apart layers, and a tender crumb that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did. Serve them straight from the pan and watch them disappear.
