Steps
- 1Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- 2Cut cold butter into the flour until the pieces look uneven and pea-sized.
- 3Stir in cold buttermilk just until the dough comes together.
- 4Fold the dough over itself a few times to build layers without overworking it.
- 5Cut biscuits and place them close together in a skillet or on a sheet pan.
- 6Bake hot until tall, golden, and cooked through, then brush with butter.
Grit & Soul tip
Cold butter and gentle hands matter more than perfect circles. Tough biscuits usually started as overworked dough.
