Recipe: Flaky Homemade Biscuits

Ingredients

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture or cut it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center, add the buttermilk, and stir until just combined.
Let the dough rest in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
Knead the dough gently on a floured surface a few times until it comes together.
Pat or roll the dough to about ½ inch thick and fold it 6-8 times for flakiness.
Press the dough down to 1 inch thick and cut out biscuits using a cookie cutter.
Knead any scraps together and repeat until all dough is used.
Brush the tops with buttermilk or cream and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.
