Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (312g) All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon (15g) Baking Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon (1.5g) Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon (6g) Fine Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon (4g) Granulated Sugar
- 0.5 cup (113g) Frozen Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup (240ml) Cold Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon (7g) Honey
- 1 tablespoon (14g) Melted Butter for brushing
Instructions:
- In a large chilled bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until fully aerated.
- Use the large holes of a box grater to shred the 113g of frozen butter directly into the flour mixture.
- Using a fork or your fingertips, gently toss the butter curls in the flour until every piece is separated and dusty.
- Push the flour to the sides and pour the 240ml of cold buttermilk into the center.
- Use a spatula to bring the flour into the liquid until a shaggy, messy dough forms. Stop as soon as no dry pockets remain.
- Place the shaggy mass onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rough rectangle.
- Fold the dough in half, turn it 90 degrees, and pat it down again. Repeat this 5 times total.
- Pat the final dough to exactly 1 inch thick.
- Press a sharp 2.5 inch cutter straight down—do not twist. You should get 10 servings from this batch.
- Place the rounds on a parchment lined sheet, touching slightly for support, and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes until the tops are golden and the edges are crackling.
- Brush the hot tops with the 14g of melted butter mixed with the 7g of honey.
