Welcome to the channel and introduction to making buttermilk biscuits.

Gather ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, buttermilk, and butter.

Use a sifter to sift 2 cups of flour to remove lumps.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to the flour and sift together.

Stir the dry ingredients until blended.

Grate 1 stick of cold butter into the flour mixture using a grater.

Work the cold butter into the flour gently with your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Fold the dough several times to create layers, rolling it out to about 1-inch thick.

Cut the biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass, pressing straight down without twisting.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops of the biscuits with buttermilk to help them brown.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, checking for browning.

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Optionally, brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
