Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

In a large bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt to the flour and mix with a whisk.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to the mixture and whisk again.

Cube 6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter and sprinkle it into the flour mixture.

Use your hands to work the butter into pea-sized pieces.

Add 3/4 cup of cold buttermilk while stirring gently until just combined.

Turn the shaggy dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 10 by 8 inches.

Fold the dough into thirds like a letter and rotate it 90 degrees.

Roll it out to another 8 by 10 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick, and repeat the folding process.

Roll out the dough again to about 3/4 inch thick, in a 10 by 5 inch rectangle.

Cut out 2.5 inch circles of dough with a floured cookie cutter.

Brush the tops of the biscuits with buttermilk before baking.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, almost touching each other.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
