Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup buttermilk

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Add cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until the mix resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently just until the dough comes together. It should look shaggy.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a rectangle, fold it over itself 4–5 times, then roll to 1-inch thickness.
  • Cut with a biscuit cutter or floured glass, pressing straight down. Re-roll scraps only once if needed.
  • Place on the baking sheet, sides touching for soft edges or spaced for crisp sides. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
