(Makes 8 large biscuits)

2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon kosher salt

3 ounces (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk

1.) Preheat oven to 400°F. In a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add butter and pulse the motor on and off until the mixture is uniformly crumbly. Add buttermilk all at once and stir or process briefly to form soft dough.

2.) Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead very lightly; do not overwork dough or the biscuits will be tough. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thick and with a sharp biscuit cutter or the top of a wine glass, cut 3-inch circles.

3.) Arrange the biscuits a few inches apart on baking sheet lined with baker’s parchment and bake until tops are lightly browned, 10-12 minutes.
