Buttermilk Biscuits

Preheat oven to 475F, and line a baking sheet with parchment

Cut butter into small cubes, and put in freezer until ready to use it

Combine the dry ingredients

Use a pastry blender to cut the COLD butter into the dry ingredients until the pieces are no bigger than a pea

Stir in buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms

GENTLY knead the dough by hand to gather into a ball, and collect whatever possible dry ingredients are left I the bowl.

Dust your work surface with flour, and flatten dough to about a 1" thickness

Use a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into rounds

Place rounds onto your prepared baking sheet with sides barely touching each other

Make a tiny indentation on the tops of the rounds with your knuckles, and brush the tops with melted butter

Bake until golden (approximately 8-12 minutes)
