1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)

4. Pour in buttermilk and gently mix until just combined.
5. Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a rectangle.
6. Fold the dough over itself 3–4 times to create layers.
7. Pat dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut biscuits using a sharp cutter.
8. Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet.
9. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
10. Brush with melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
Keep all ingredients very cold for the flakiest texture.
Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense biscuits.
Place biscuits close together to help them rise taller.
