Instructions (6 steps)

01Ensure your 6 tablespoons unsalted butter is extra cold. Stick it in the freezer if that helps. Then grate it like you would cheese.
02In a medium sized bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Add in butter and mix well to ensure each piece of butter is coated with the flour mixture.
03Make a well in the middle and add 1 cup buttermilk. Use your hands to mix just enough to combine all of the ingredients.
04Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently flatten out to a rectangle that is about 9 inches long and 5 inches wide. Fold the long sides over in thirds so that you now have a rectangle that is 3 inches long and 5 inches wide. Repeat process two more times. This is how you get the layers. Flatten the final rectangle so that its about an inch thick.
