Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt.
Step 3
Cut the 1/2 cup cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
Step 4
Pour in the 3/4 cup buttermilk and stir with a fork just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Step 6
Cut out biscuits with a round cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet, sides touching for soft edges or 1 inch apart for crisp edges.
Step 7
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown on top. Serve warm.
