Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly butter a baking sheet or line it with parchment.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the 3 ½ cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the butter and cut them in with a pastry blender, or use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture, working quickly so the butter stays cold. Stop when you have a texture that is a combo of pea sized pieces of butter, and a somewhat sandy texture. You can also do this by pulsing the butter into the flour mixture in a food processor.
• Add the buttermilk to the mixture and stir just until it comes together into a shaggy, sticky dough, but do not overmix.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface and place about ½ cup of flour in a small bowl big enough to accommodate the 3-inch biscuit cutter.
• Turn the dough onto the work surface. Press it together just until it forms a ball, handling the dough lightly. Pat it into a rough square or circle, about ¾-inch thick. Cut circles with a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter, making the circles as close together as possible to use as much of the dough in this first round of cutting. Do not twist the cutter as you press in or pull out, which will seal the layers of the dough and prevent them from rising to their tallest selves. Gather up the scraps and gently press them into another small ¾-inch-thick shape, and cut as many biscuits as you can from the remaining dough.
• Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet having them just barely touch each other. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 14 to 18 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown. Immediately brush the tops with the melted butter. Enjoy hot or warm, if possible, but you can also cool them on a wire rack and store them in an airtight container for one day.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 5 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until pea-sized bits of butter remain. Use a rubber spatula to stir the buttermilk into the flour until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough.
• Dust a cutting board or work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough in thirds, like a letter, and then pat into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut biscuits out using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the remaining scraps of dough and cut out more biscuits. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk.
• Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• add 1 1/4 cups of buttermilk and mix lightly just until the dough begins to stick together (do not overmix). add up to 4 tbsp more buttermilk, 1 tbsp at a time, if the dough is dry.
• turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press together lightly just until the dough forms a ball (do not overwork).
• roll or pat the dough out to 3/4-inch thickness and cut with floured biscuit cutter or upside down glass.
• place biscuits onto baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. serve immediately!
