Light as Air Biscuits

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In the chilled bowl, combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine, make a well in the center. Using the chilled cheese grater, grate the butter into the bowl. Use a knife or a pastry brush to brush off the butter that sticks to the grater. Using my hands in gloves, I lightly tossed the butter into the flour. Replace bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes.
• Take bowl out of freezer, create a well in the center in the middle. Pour in the buttermilk and with a wooden spoon, gently mix well so everything is incorporated. You may need more buttermilk so add a Tablespoon at a time. You want the dough on the drier side not sticky and soggy. You do want it to come together. With your hands knead the dough until it comes together.
• On the counter or large rolling mat, sprinkle with flour and knead the dough. With your hands, flatten out the dough. Roll the dough out so that it is about 1/2 inch thick and using a 2 1/2 inch round or square biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place on prepared sheet, lightly touching one another. Melt the remaining 2 Tablespoons butter and using a pastry brush, brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with salt or cayenne or nothing.
• Place in the oven and cook for 16-18 minutes. remove from the oven brush with leftover melted butter. Let Cool and serve warm.
