Anweisungen

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Cut frozen butter into small pieces and return to the Freezer

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in the KitchenAid Stand mixing bowl.

Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using the pastry attachment until it resembles small crumbs about the size of a pea.

Make a hole in the middle of the flour and add the buttermilk. Gently stir until the dough is mixed together but still tacky. If it’s too dry, add more buttermilk.

Pour the mixed dough out onto a floured surface and pat gently into a rectangle.

Fold the dough onto itself six times then pat down to 1 inch thick.

With a 2 ½ inch round biscuit cutter, push down to cut the dough and pull up without twisting the cutter and the dough. Any leftover scraps can be combined and cut again – but just once; reusing any scraps after that will make the biscuits tough.

Arrange the biscuits on a parchment-lined cookie sheet almost touching each other and bake for 12-15 minutes until browned.

After the biscuits are baked brush the tops with melted butter.
