Combine all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt) in a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.

Cut in 6 tablespoons of very cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Gently stir in 1 cup of cold buttermilk with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until a shaggy and sticky dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and flour your hands.

Gently press the mixture together into one piece of dough.

Press the dough out to about 1 inch thick and fold it in half.

Press the dough out again and fold it in the opposite direction.

Repeat the folding process about six times to create layers in the dough.

Use a biscuit cutter to stamp out biscuits about 1 inch thick.

Gently press the scraps together and stamp out the remaining biscuits.

Bake at 450°F for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Brush the tops of warm biscuits with melted butter.
