Directions

  1. 1
    Heat the oven to 475 degrees. Cut the butter into small cubes and freeze for 15 minutes. Stir the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the buttermilk using a fork just until the dough forms. Knead 3 to 4 turns on a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a 3 inch cutter. Gather the scraps until all the dough is used. Place the buscuits 2 inches apart on a baking pan. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 16 to 18 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.
