Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 tablespoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
cold butter (½ a cup or 1 stick of butter)* grated
1 cup of buttermilk
The butter must be very cold. Grate it against the wide side of your grater

Preparation

1 PREHEAT oven to 400F 2 LINE one baking sheet with parchment paper 3 WHISK together first 4 ingredients 4 ADD grated butter, combining with a fork. Dough should resemble coarse crumbs. 5 ADD buttermilk and stir until dough comes together in a shaggy mess - hey, no other way to describe it! 6 LIGHTLY flour work surface 7 MOVE dough onto work surface and pat into a square about 1 inch thick 8 FOLD dough in half 9 PAT dough gently down into 1 inch thick square 10 WITH floured biscuit cutter or drinking glass, cut out circles. This recipe made 7 large biscuits for me. 11 PLACE biscuits on parchment lined baking sheet 12 MAKE a small indentation in the top of each biscuit. This will prevent them from flopping over when they rise during the baking process 13 BAKE for 15-18 minutes. Mine were perfect at 16 minutes on the dot ! 14 REMOVE immediately from baking sheet and allow to cool on rack slightly
