    List of Ingredients

    ◦  1 cup cold salted butter
    ◦  4 cups all-purpose flour
    ◦  1 tablespoon sugar
    ◦  1 tablespoon baking powder
    ◦  2 teaspoons kosher salt
    ◦  ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    ◦  ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper (optional)
    ◦  1¼ cups cold whole buttermilk
    ◦  2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
    ◦  Butter and honey, to serve

    Recipe

    Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place butter in freezer for 10 minutes.

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and pepper, if using. Cut frozen butter into small cubes; add to flour mixture and toss to coat. Using your fingers, press butter into small flat pieces about the size of a nickel. Add buttermilk, and fold in using a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

    On a lightly floured surface, turn out dough and pat into a 1-inch-thick square. (Dough will be crumbly.) Using a bench scraper, fold dough in half. Cut dough in half crosswise. Stack halves and pat down into a 1-inch square again. Repeat process 3 more times. Pat or roll dough to 1-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round cutter dipped in flour, cut dough without twisting cutter, re-rolling scraps once.

    Place biscuits two inches apart on prepared pan. Freeze for 15 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter.

    Bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes. Serve with butter and honey, if desired.


    Makes 8 to 10
