How to cook deliciously - Homemade Biscuits

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 425º and line a large baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

2. Stage

Using a box grater, grate butter over flour mixture and quickly toss with your hands to incorporate. Using a wooden spoon, make a well in the center of dough and pour in 1 cup buttermilk. Stir until just beginning to come together, then turn out onto a work surface.

3. Stage

Form dough into a rectangle about 1" thick. Starting on a long side, fold dough into thirds, like folding a letter. Using a rolling pin, gently pat back to a 1"-thick rectangle. Repeat folding process, working fast so butter doesn't melt.

4. Stage

Pat dough to a 1"-thick rectangle. Using a 2" round biscuit or cookie cutter, quickly press down (don’t twist!) to cut out rounds. Transfer to prepared sheet, spacing about 1/2" apart. Bring together dough scraps and cut out more rounds.

5. Stage

Brush tops of rounds with melted butter. Bake biscuits until flaky and tops are lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
