Says Headley of these crisp, buttery-sweet biscuits, "Serving them hot is all that matters."

Provided by Brooks Headley

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces; plus 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick), melted
3/4 cup chilled buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Add chilled butter and toss to coat. Work butter into flour mixture with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal with several pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
  • Using a fork, gently mix in buttermilk, then gently knead just until dough comes together (do not overmix).
  • Pinch off pieces of dough and gently roll into 1" balls; place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2" apart (you should have about 24). If butter softens too much while you are working, chill dough until firm before baking, 15-20 minutes.
  • Bake biscuits until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with more salt. Serve warm.
