Ingredients
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 1¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 10 tablespoons butter cold- frozen if possible
- 1¾ cups buttermilk cold
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450˚F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter ( or two knives) to cut the butter into the flour, continuing until it is the consistency of small peas.
- Create a well in the flour mixture and pour the buttermilk in. Mix the dough with a spoon or fork, until it just holds together.
- Turn the dough out on a floured surface and form into a rectangle. Fold 1/3 of side of the rectangle to the center to create 3 layers. Press firmly to reform to rectangle shape about 1-1½" tall. To create "mile high" biscuits, you need at least this thickness to the dough.
- Use a 2½" biscuit cutter to cut 8 biscuits from the dough. Use the scraps to form 2-4 more biscuits with the cutter.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes. Once they are cooked through and the tops are brown, remove them from the oven. Optionally you can brush the tops with additional melted butter, or just serve as it with honey or jam.
