- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter cold, cubed
- ½ to ¾ cup (113 - 170 mL) buttermilk cold

- Add the cubed butter, and pulse a few more times just until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter
- With the food processor still running, slowly drizzle in the buttermilk just until the dough holds together when pressed. It should be sticky or wet.½ to ¾ cup (113 - 170 mL) buttermilk
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and pat into a flat rectangle.
- Fold the dough in half, gently pat into a rectangle again. Repeat this step 4 to 5 times. These folds are creating layers in the dough.
- Shape dough into a rectangular shape about ½ - ¾ inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter and press down firmly and bring the biscuit cutter straight up. Do not twist. Repeat to cut out 5-6 biscuits.
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet or dish. Bake for 9-13 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
