  2. Combine dry ingredients: Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Add butter: Grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.

Notes

  • If the dough is too dry, add buttermilk gradually until it comes together.

  • To freeze before baking, freeze cut dough. To freeze after baking, cool biscuits and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
