Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter frozen
- 1 cup buttermilk cold
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients together.
- Grate frozen butter on the large side of the grater and add to dry ingredients. Toss butter in flour as you grate it to coat it.
- Add cold buttermilk to the ingredients. Use a spatula to stir and combine together. Work quickly and don't over-mix.
- Scoop the dough onto a floured surface. Fold it over a few times. It might be crumbly and flaky, that is totally fine. Roll out the dough into 1 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut 2 or 3 inch sized biscuits. Place them on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
