Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup bread flour
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter frozen
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Shred 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter and freeze for 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup bread flour, 3 tablespoons baking powder, and 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt; whisk together.
- Add the frozen shredded butter to the flour mixture, coating evenly, and make a well in the center for the buttermilk.
- Pour ¾ cup cold buttermilk into the mixture and stir until just combined. If too dry, add more buttermilk a tablespoon at a time.
- Place parchment paper on a flat surface, dust lightly with flour.
- Transfer the biscuit mixture onto the parchment and gently fold the paper over to shape it into a square or rectangle. Repeat this folding action from side to side.
- Using a pastry scraper, cut the dough in half and stack it. Fold the parchment over and press down again into shape; repeat this process two more times.
- After the third folding, cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter, avoiding twisting that could hinder rising. Gather scraps and form additional biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared sheet pan and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter to brush on top before baking.
- After freezing, brush with melted butter and put them in the oven to bake.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes until tall, golden brown, and buttery.
- Serve warm with toppings of your choice and enjoy!
