Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe in 35 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
2. Use a pastry cutter or heavy-duty fork to work the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks of butter remaining.
3. Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork just until the dough begins to clump together and the flour is moistened.
4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle, fold it in half, rotate, and repeat the process 3-5 times to create layers (lamination).
5. Pat the dough to a 1-inch thickness. Using a sharp cutter, press straight down without twisting to cut the biscuits.
6. Place biscuits touching each other on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a cast iron skillet. Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 12-15 minutes until tops are mahogany-colored.
7. Remove from oven and brush the tops with melted butter.
