Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
Step 3
Add cold butter, using your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Add buttermilk and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
Step 5
Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 1 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut out 10-12 rounds using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter.
Step 6
Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet; place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Step 7
Remove biscuits from freezer and brush tops with butter. Place into oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Chef's notes
Serve these warm and hot out of the oven for the best experience.
A little bit of additional melted butter on top enhances the flavor.
