Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream can substitute for more buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Cut the butter into cubes and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 475ºF.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the cold butter, and working with a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. There will still be some chunks of butter, but they shouldn’t be more than about the size of a pea.
- Add the buttermilk and stir just until the dough starts to come together.
- Flour a counter or work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough just enough to bring it all together.
- Using your hands or a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle about 10 inches wide and 5 inches tall. Fold 1/3 of the dough on one side over into the middle, then fold the opposite side over. (See photos above for reference.)
- Pat the dough into another rectangle, this time 5 inches wide and 10 inches tall. Fold each side of the dough to the middle again.
- Pat the dough into another rectangle 10 inches wide by 5 inches tall. Use a round cookie cutter or a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits.
- Take any scraps and form into a new rectangle. The more you work with the dough, the tougher the biscuits will become, so I only fold the scraps once instead of twice. Cut out the remaining biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- Brush the biscuits with the heavy cream.
- Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake just until the biscuits have risen tall and browned, about 16 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and brush with the melted butter.
Notes
- To reduce waste and eliminate re-rolling dough, you can use a sharp knife and cut the dough into squares instead of using biscuit cutters.
