By nnlester

Ingredients

• 2 cups Cup4Cup flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. Combine all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Whisk to combine.

4. Pour the buttermilk into the bowl. Slowly mix in the buttermilk using a fork until the dough forms into a lumpy ball. The dough should be loose. Do not over mix.

6. Using additional flour as needed, roll out the dough to a slab approximately 1 ½-inches thick.

7. Cut the dough into 6 pieces using a round cookie cutter.  Place cut out shapes onto baking sheet. Brush on buttermilk to the tops of the biscuits to ensure a golden brown top.
