Instructions
 

  • In a large, shallow mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
  • Add 1/3 of the butter, and cut it in with a pastry blender. When the butter is mixed in, add another 1/3 of the butter, and cut it in with a pastry blender. Add the final 1/3 of the butter, and cut it in with a pastry blender. The dough should resemble coarse crumbs (like this).
  • Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir with a fork, until combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured pastry mat. With floured hands, gently knead the dough until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. (Dough will be sticky.)
  • Press the biscuit dough out flat, about 3/4 of an inch thick.
  • Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut biscuits out of the dough.
  • Re-knead dough scraps, press flat, and cut more biscuits.
  • Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-14 minutes, until biscuit tops are golden brown.
  • Cool biscuits on a wire cooling rack.
