Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Step 3
Cube the cold butter into small pieces. Add to the flour and work with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Pour buttermilk into the bowl. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 5
Turn dough onto a floured surface and fold it over itself 5–6 times to create layers.
Step 6
Pat dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter or drinking glass.
Step 7
Place biscuits on the baking sheet 1 inch apart. Brush tops with melted butter.
Step 8
Bake 12–15 minutes until tops are golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from oven and cool for 2 minutes. Serve warm.
