Flaky, Fluffy Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

  1. Heat oven to 450 F. Generously grease the bottom of a large baking sheet with butter.
  2. Use a box grater to grate the cold butter into a small bowl. Or, cut butter with a knife into very small cubes. Place bowl in freezer.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda until well combined. Add grated butter and, using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until it's the size of small peas. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir mixture with a wooden spoon just until a dough forms (do not over-mix).
  4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; very gently pat into a rough ball. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut dough in half. Place one half on top of the other half, and very gently press halves together, shaping into a rough ball again. Repeat this process 3 times.
  5. Gently shape dough into a rough rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut dough into 12 equal squares; transfer to prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits at least 1 inch apart. Place baking sheet in freezer 10 minutes to re-chill dough.
  6. Transfer baking sheet directly from freezer to oven and bake biscuits 10 to 12 minutes until golden and fluffy. Serve immediately.
