8 Tbsp cold butter (I recommend salted with these)butter
1 cup buttermilkbuttermilk

Instructions (7 steps)

01Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line the pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and set aside for later.
02Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
03Carefully shred the frozen butter using a cheese grater or food processor, pulsing only one to three times to keep the butter chilled. Gently toss the butter shreds in the dry ingredients until coated and combined with the flour.
04Slowly mix in the buttermilk, using a wooden spoon, until combined and the dough begins to form, try not to mix too much, in order to keep the butter cold.
05Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface. Use your hands to pat the dough into a 1 inch thick round. Fold the dough into 1/3’s over the top of itself and press down to 1/2 inch thickness.
