Butter Buttermilk Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and the butter is pea-sized.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk.
5. Using a fork or spatula, gently stir the buttermilk into the flour mixture until just combined and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
7. Fold the dough in half and pat it out again to the same thickness. Repeat this folding and patting process two more times.
8. Using a floured biscuit cutter or a sharp knife, cut out biscuits from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
9. Gather any scraps of dough, pat them out, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
10. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little buttermilk for a golden finish, if desired.
11. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
12. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Enjoy your homemade butter buttermilk biscuits warm from the oven, with a pat of butter or your favorite jam. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side with soups and stews.
