Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-pupose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup buttermilk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Put butter in the freezer for 25 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Continue whisking until well combined.
  3. Remove butter from freezer, use a grater to grate the butter. Add butter to the large bowl and mix using your hands.
  4. Pour milk into the bowl and stir until the dough is combined. If dough becomes dry, add more milk.
  5. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured countertop. Form dough into an inch thick rectangle. Now, fold the dough in half and pat down until it's another inch thick layer. Repeat this folding process for 4-5 times.
  6. Use a pastry cutter or biscuit cutter to cut straight down the dough. Cut your biscuits and place them on the baking sheet.
  7. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk and bake for 15 minutes. The tops will be golden brown when done.
