Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder

- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in buttermilk and stir until just combined.
- Knead gently on a floured surface. Fold dough 3 times for flaky layers.

Notes
- Freeze your butter for ultra-flaky results.
- Avoid overmixing—less is more when it comes to tender biscuits.
