Ingredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter ice cold - put in the freezer for 10 minutes before using.
1 cup buttermilk plus a little more for brushing tops

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Lightly grease a cookie sheet or cover it with parchment/silpat.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a bowl.
Whisk in the sugar and salt.
Using the large side of a grater, grate the butter into the flour mixture stopping occasionally to fold the butter shreds into the flour.
Stir the butter shreds into the flour and then make a well in the center.
Pour the cold buttermilk into the well and mix the flour mixture into it lightly with a fork until a soft dough is formed.
Turn out on a floured work surface and gently knead 15 strokes.
Pat into a rectangle.
Cut into 2 equal pieces and stack one on top of the other.
Pat down until it's 1" thick.
Cut straight down with a biscuit cutter.
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with a little buttermilk. Sprinkle with a little sugar if desired.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and done.
Serve hot.
