Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter very cold, plus more for brushing
  • 1 cup buttermilk cold

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Using a box grater, grate the butter over the flour mixture then quickly toss and rub the butter with your hands to incorporate.
  • Make a well in the middle of the dough then pour the cold buttermilk in the center. Stir until just beginning to come together, then pour out onto a lightly floured work surface.
  • Bring the dough together into a rectangle, about an inch thick. Fold the dough into thirds.
  • Using a rolling pin, gently pat back into a 1-inch thick rectangle, and repeat the folding process two more times. Work fast so the butter does not melt.
  • Once dough is folded three times, roll into a 1-inch thick rectangle again. Using a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter, quickly press down to cut the biscuits.
  • Place the cut dough on the prepared baking sheet, about half an inch apart.
  • Brush tops with melted butter, then bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  • Serve warm, enjoy with family and friends!
