Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter ((very cold))
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup flour (for dusting the pastry mat & dusting while rolling)
2 tablespoons butter ((melted))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. If you feel the flour with your hands, you should feel the butter chunks in it. That's the texture you want so don't over mix it at this point.
  • Add the buttermilk and mix just until combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured pastry mat and pat it into a horizontal rectangle that is about 1 1/2 inches thick. Fold the left side of the rectangle over the right side and pat it out into a vertical rectangle. Fold the bottom half up to the top and press it out into a horizontal rectangle again. Repeat the steps above 3 times for a total of 6 folds. Be careful not to overwork the dough while you are doing this. The folding is what creates the pretty layers. Sprinkle a little flour on the layers if the dough starts getting sticky, but just pat gently and handle the dough lightly.
  • After 6 folds, gently pat the dough into a rectangle that is about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp circle biscuit cutter and press down through the dough, then lift up. Do not twist the cookie cutter or shuffle it around. Just push down, then pull straight up.
  • Place biscuit on a silicone baking mat.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
  • Bake at 475 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (without opening the oven) and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  • Allow the biscuits to sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Don't over-knead the dough: A few gentle folds are all that is necessary.
  • Let the biscuits rest before baking: This will help them to rise properly.
