Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour (240 grams) read here about measuring flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk (236.6 ml) cold
8 tablespoons melted butter (113 grams) cooled slightly
2 tablespoons melted butter (28.25 grams) for brushing on at the end, optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
2 cups all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt
In a smaller bowl whisk the cold buttermilk and melted butter. It will start to clump together, as the cold buttermilk drops the temperature of the butter.
1 cup buttermilk, 8 tablespoons melted butter
Stir the liquid into the dry ingredients just until it starts to pull away from the side.
Using a well greased 1/4 cup measure, drop just less than a quarter cup of batter onto the baking mat keeping an inch and a half between biscuits. You may have to bake in two batches.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove the biscuits from the oven brush with butter if serving right away. Serve warm.
2 tablespoons melted butter
