- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead twice. Pat dough to a 1-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/4-inch round cutter, cut out biscuits, and transfer to a nonstick baking sheet. Repat dough scraps, and repeat once.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 485 degree F. Sift the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
- 2. Slice the butter into pats and with fingers, rub the butter into the flour, until you have pieces the size of large and small peas.
- 3. Stir the buttermilk into the flour with a fork, just until the dough starts to come together. Using your hands, start kneading the dough to incorporate all of the flour. If the dough is not sticky, add more milk.
- 4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and fold over itself 2 or 3 times ( this is what makes the layers.) Just fold and push 3 times. With your hands, pat out dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut out dough using a 3 inch biscuit cutter - DO NOT TWIST THE CUTTER! Twisting will seal sides, and keep biscuits from rising correctly.
- 5. Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet or cake pan, so they almost touch. Brush tops with buttermilk or melted butter.
- 6. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until desired brownness occurs. I turn the pan half way through baking time.
- 7. Brush the biscuits when taken from the oven and serve them hot. Enjoy with honey, butter, jam or gravy!
Tips:
- Use cold buttermilk and butter. This will help the biscuits rise properly and create a flaky texture.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
- Cut the biscuits with a sharp biscuit cutter. This will help create clean edges and prevent the biscuits from sticking together.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and create a golden brown crust.
- Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or jam.
