Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. Whisk the dry ingredients. Grate the frozen butter into the flour and toss to coat.
  3. Stir in the buttermilk just until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn out, pat into a rectangle, fold in thirds, and repeat 4 times to build layers.
  5. Pat to 1-inch thick and cut straight down (no twisting) with a 2½-inch cutter. Place biscuits touching on the pan.
  6. Brush with melted butter and bake 13–16 minutes until tall and golden.

Baker's tip

Keep everything cold; warm butter means flat biscuits.
