Steps

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 475. Grate the cold butter into the flour and toss with your fingers.

    Keep everything cold. Pop the bowl in the freezer if it gets warm.

  2. 2

    Pour in buttermilk a little at a time until it just comes together. Shaggy is good.

  3. 3

    Pat out, fold it over on itself three times, then pat to an inch thick and cut straight down.

    Don't twist the cutter or they won't rise.

  4. 4

    Bake touching in a skillet 12 to 14 minutes until golden. Brush with butter.
