Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all Dry Ingredients.
  3. Cut in the very cold European-Style Butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Keep the butter very cold.
  4. Add the Cultured Buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds like a letter. Repeat this lamination process 3 times, chilling for 15 minutes between each fold.
  6. After the final chill, gently pat the dough to 3/4 inch thickness.
  7. Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Do not twist the cutter.
  8. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, close together for softer sides, or spaced apart for crispier sides.
  9. Brush the tops of the biscuits with Clarified Butter and sprinkle with Coarse Sea Salt.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
