Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
6. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gather any scraps and repeat until all dough is used.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
8. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter if desired. Serve warm.
