Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.

3. 3

   Grate 2 sticks of frozen butter over the bowl and mix with your hands until the mixture is crumbly.

4. 4

   Add the chilled buttermilk and mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

5. 5

   Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and add the dough.

6. 6

   Flatten the dough into a 9 x 7 x 1½-inch rectangle. Fold the right side to the center, and then the left side over the top, folding like a letter.

7. 7

   Flatten the dough again into a rectangle with your hands. Next, fold from top to bottom, then flatten it again. Repeat this folding and flattening process about 5 times.

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1½ inches. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut biscuits and place on a baking sheet pan with parchment. Freeze for 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
