2 cups flour, plus more for dusting
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda (make sure it's fresh!)
1 tsp. coarse or Kosher salt
1/2 cup (that's one stick!) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/2 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing on
1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter using two knives until the mix is coarse. Add buttermilk and cream. Stir to combine.
-Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board. Pat into a 6 inch mound, about 1 inch high. Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut out rounds. Transfer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing about 1 inch apart. Gather scraps, reshape and cut out. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until tops are golden, about 22 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack. Cool completely. Enjoy! -Diana
