Ingredients
2
cups unbleached all purpose flour
1/4
cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4
cup chilled buttermilk
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Sift first 6 ingredients into large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir until dough forms.
2.
Turn dough out onto floured surface; knead until smooth, about 8 turns. Roll out dough to 1-inch thickness. Using 2-inch-diameter biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather scraps; roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut out additional biscuits.
3.
Transfer biscuits to large ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Serve warm.
