-
Preheat oven to 450 °F.
-
In a large bowl, sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mix them well with a spoon.
-
Grate the frozen butter and add it to the flour mixture.
-
Use your fingertips to incorporate the butter to the flour mixture, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add buttermilk and mix until just combined.
-
Flour a working board and place the dough on it.
-
Flatten the dough with hands or with a rolling pin. Shape a rectangle form and start folding the rectangle in half.
-
Repeat the operation of flattening and folding the dough for 4 to 5 times (the layering process helps form flaky biscuits). Make sure to lightly flour the dough before folding it.
-
Roll out dough to about ½ inch thick and cut it out into circles, using a cookie cutter(I have used a 2 inches diameter cookie cutter but the size is your choice). Make sure to dip the cookie cutter into flour to prevent it from sticking to the dough.
-
Place cut out biscuits dough on a baking sheet that are lined up with parchment paper.
-
Brush the top of the biscuits with buttermilk.
-
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown (rack placed in the center of the oven).
-
Immediately brush biscuits with melted butter.
