American Buttermilk Biscuits

Method

1. 1
   Preheat your oven to 325°F (220°C).
2. 2
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. 3
   Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. 4
   Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. 5
   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
6. 6
   Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Then fold into layers 5 to 6 times. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg wash.
7. 7
   Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. Remove and baste with melted butter.
8. 8
   Serve warm and enjoy!
