Flakey Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients

• • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)

  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter (Frozen)

  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine the dry ingredients.

With a box grater, grate the frozen stick of butter into the flour mixture. Stir into mixture. Add the buttermilk and stir just until combined.

Dump the mixture onto a floured board. Lightly flour top of dough and shape into a rectangle. Gentle fold into thirds like a letter. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and fold again. Repeat several times.

Gently flatten dough to 1" thick. Using a 2 3/4" biscuit cutter, cut out about 3 biscuits. Pull dough back together and cut the remainder into biscuits. You will get about 6 biscuits.

Place biscuits on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and brush the tops with melted butter.
