These buttermilk biscuits are crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and so flaky—all thanks to the convection function of the Anova Precision Oven. They’re especially delicious served warm with butter slathered on top.

Ingredients
8 Tbsp (1 stick; 113g)
unsalted butter, chilled
2.25 cups (315g)
all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp (13g)
granulated sugar
2 tsp (10g)
baking powder
½ tsp (3g)
fine salt
1 cup (242g)
buttermilk, chilled
Steps
1. Preheat Oven
Rack
Sous Vide Mode: Off
Steam: Off
Temp: 400°F
Heat: Rear
2. Grate Butter
Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the cold butter into a large bowl.
3. Make Dough
Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the butter. Mix with your fingertips to combine. You should still be able to feel pieces of butter in the mixture.
Add the buttermilk and mix gently with your hands to form a dough. Do not knead the dough.
4. Fold Dough
Transfer dough to a generously floured counter. Press down to form a sort of rectangle. Fold in half. Press the dough down to form a rectangle again. Fold in half again then press down and fold one more time. Flour the counter as needed if the dough sticks.
5. Cut Into Rounds
Press the dough so that it is about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into about 2-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
6. Transfer to Baking Sheet
Place the dough rounds on a parchment- or silicone mat-lined sheet pan, making sure the biscuits are touching each other.
7. Bake
Rack
Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 13 minutes.
