Ingredients: – ½ cup unsalted butter – 2½ cups all-purpose flour – 1 tablespoon baking powder – 1 teaspoon kosher salt – 1 cup buttermilk

Freeze the butter for 30 minutes. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.  Grate the butter using a box grater.

Toss the butter with the flour mixture gently to combine. Then, pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined.

Pat the dough into a 2-inch high rectangle. Fold in half, and roll out into another 2-inch high rectangle.  Repeat 2 more times.

Roll the final rectangle into 8x6x1 inches (1 inch high).  Cut the dough into 12 biscuits using a knife.

Refrigerate the biscuits for 30 minutes. Then, bake at 425°F for 10–14 minutes.
