Buttermilk Biscuits

13 ½ ounces all purpose flour

2 Tbsp sugar

4 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp kosher salt

2 sticks frozen butter

1 ¼ cups buttermilk

Start by combining 13 ½ ounces all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt in a bowl. Whisk with a fork until homogeneous.

By using the slightly larger holes on a cheese grater, grate 2 sticks of frozen butter.

Add butter to the flour mixture, and mix around until all the pieces are coated.

Add 1 ¼ cups buttermilk to the mixture and give it a good stir.

Remove the mixture from the bowl and continue to try to coax together into a sort of rectangle. Using a generously floured rolling pin, roll it out to a 16 by 9 inch rectangle and fold in thirds like a letter. Watch the episode above if you need help!

Repeat this process five times.

Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

Roll the dough out to a roughly 9x9 square-ish shape, and trim off the edges using a very sharp knife that was dusted in flour.

Cut cleanly into 9 square biscuits.

Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with butter.

Bake the biscuits at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before consumption.
