Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 6 tbsp butter (very cold, cubed)
• 3/4 cup buttermilk (cold)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add buttermilk and stir just until dough comes together.
5. Turn onto floured surface. Pat to 1-inch thick.
6. Fold dough in half, pat down. Repeat 3-4 times (creates flaky layers).
7. Pat to 3/4-inch thick. Cut with 2.5-inch biscuit cutter.
8. Place biscuits touching on baking sheet (helps them rise tall).
