Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 sticks chilled unsalted butter sliced in chunks
- 1 1-2 cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl whisk the dry ingredients together. Use a pastry blender (or two knives), and cut in the butter until it is the size of small peas. Add the buttermilk and stir (won't be completely combined and small pebbles of butter is ok).
- Flour hands and put the dough on a floured surface kneading just until dough comes together. Gently pat at the dough into 3/4 inch thick rectangle.
- Use a 3 to 3 1-1/2" biscuit cutter to form biscuits. Re-roll remaining dough and recut if you want to get some extra biscuits.
- Transfer to parchment lined baking sheets and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Brush top with melted butter. Cool.
