Serves:
Ingredients
- 2cupsall purpose flour,spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
- 3tbspcornstarch
- 1tbspbaking powder
- ¼tspbaking soda
- 1tbspsugar
- 1¼tspsalt
- 10tbspcold unsalted butter,cut into ½-inch chunks
- ¾cupbuttermilk,plus a bit more if necessary
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 13×18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Pulse a few times to mix.
-
Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand with a few pea-sized clumps of butter intact. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
-
Add the buttermilk and stir with a spoon or rubber spatula until the dough comes together into a shaggy mass. If the dough seems too dry, add a few more tablespoons of buttermilk. Do not over-mix.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Dust the top of the dough with a bit more flour and bring together gently into a loose ball. Pat the dough into a rectangle about ¾-inch thick.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into thirds. Stack the pieces on top of one another and pat out into a rectangle about ¾-inch thick again, flouring the surface lightly as needed to prevent the dough from sticking.
-
Cut the dough into thirds again. Stack the pieces on top of one another and pat into a rectangle with a final thickness of about ¾-inch.
-
Dust the blade of a sharp knife with flour and cut the dough into 12 even squares.
-
Transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until the biscuits are lightly golden on top and a rich, golden brown on the bottom.
-
Serve warm and enjoy.
