Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter ((1 stick), cold)
  • 3/4 cups buttermilk, (cold)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.  
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together until combined, then cut the butter into half-inch cubes and add to the bowl.  
  • Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the pieces of butter are no bigger than the size of a pea.  
  • Stir in the buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the dough with your hands a few times, to gather the dough into a ball and incorporate any flour that may be left in the bottom of the bowl.  
  • Dust the work surface with flour, and flatten the dough to a thickness of 3/4 inch.  
  • Dip a 2-inch diameter cutter into flour and cut rounds.  
  • Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet (with their sides barely touching) and bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden.
