Buttermilk Biscuits

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425° F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
• Using the large holes of a grater, grate the frozen butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Lightly toss to coat the butter in the flour.
• Pour in the heavy cream and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a square. Cut this into 4 equal squares and stack them on top of each other. Press down and reshape into a square. Repeat this stacking process two more times to create flaky layers.
• Pat and shape the dough into a 5 x 10-inch rectangle about 3/4–1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 even squares.
• Place the squares on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and place them in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Remove the tray from the freezer and brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter. Bake the biscuits for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve immediately.
