   If using salted butter, decrease salt to 1 tsp.

4. 3

   Cube butter and work into dry ingredients with a food processor or pastry blender.

   butter: 1/2 c (cold unsalted)
5. 4

   Add buttermilk and stir just until mixed. Dough may be sticky.

   buttermilk: 1 c (or kefir or soured milk)
6. 5

   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rough rectangle, about an inch thick. Fold it over and gently roll it down again. Repeat 6 times.
7. 6

   Gently roll out the dough once more, so that it forms a rectangle. Cut dough into biscuits using a floured glass or biscuit cutter. Do not twist the cutter when cutting; this will crimp the edges of the biscuit causing it not to rise.
