Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Cut in ½ cup of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently stir in ¾ cup of buttermilk until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, and fold into thirds, repeating this process two more times.
  6. Pat the dough to about 1 to 1 ¼ inches thick and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
  7. Place the biscuits close together on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Brush with melted butter if desired, immediately after baking.
