Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 8 tablespoons cold butter
• 1 cup buttermilk

  you may need a little more if the dough is too dry

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place the butter in the freezer while the oven is
  heating up. 
• 2 Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt
  and mix well.
• 3 Next, remove the butter from the freezer and grate it with the large holes of a
  cheese grater. Add the butter to the flour mixture and use your hands to coat
  all of the butter with flour, breaking up any clumps of butter that may form.
  
  Add almost all of the buttermilk and use a wooden spoon to bring together into a
  fairly dry, loose dough. If it won't come together, add the rest of the
  buttermilk.
• 4 Turn the dough out on to a flour dusted work surface. Pat the dough out into a
  rectangular shape about a half inch thick, then fold it over itself like a jelly
  roll. Repeat this process twice more, leaving the biscuit dough an inch tall on
  the last pass, then you're ready to cut
  
  Dip your biscuit cutter in flour to avoid sticking. Press straight down to cut
  the biscuits. You can bring the scraps together and get a few more biscuits if
  you like.
• 5 Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and transfer into the hot oven
  for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are browned on the top and cooked in
  the middle.
  
  Remove from the oven, and enjoy!
