BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

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.

• Pulse the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a food processor to combine. scatter the butter and cream cheese over the top and continue to pulze until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 15 pulses. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the buttermilk with a spatula until the dough comes together.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Knead the dough gently until smooth, 8 10 times. Pat the dough into a 9: circle, about 3/4" thick.
• Using a floured cutter, stamp out 6 biscuits and arrange upside down on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the remaining dough, pat into a 3/4" thick circle and stamp out the remaining 6 biscuits.
