Ingredients

  • 4 Cups All-Purpose Flour Unbleached
  • 2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 Cup Butter Cold Unsalted, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
  • 1 1/2 Cups Buttermilk
  • 2 Tablespoons Buttermilk
  • 1/4 Cup Melted Butter
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Adjust oven rack to middle and heat to 425.
  • Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl or food processor fitted with a metal blade to combine, or whisk in a large bowl.
    4 Cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 Tablespoons Baking Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda, 1 teaspoon Sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse meal with a few slightly larger bumps. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
    1 Cup Butter
  • Stir in 1 1/2 cups buttermilk with a rubber spatula or fork until just starts to come together then turn out onto a counter top. Knead 3-4 times, but it should still look lumpy.
    1 1/2 Cups Buttermilk
  • Roll out about 1" thick. Place a 3 1/2" cutter in flour then cut straight up and down through the dough.
  • Arrange with sides of the biscuits touching on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk, bake 8-10 minutes.
    Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter.
    2 Tablespoons Buttermilk, 1/4 Cup Melted Butter
