The Rise Buttermilk Biscuit

Preparation

Cut butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized morsels form. Make a well and add eggs and lightly beat them. Add buttermilk and mix ingredients with a wooden spoon.

Transfer dough to a flour-dusted surface and gently knead and flatten dough using your hands, folding it evenly. Repeat this step two more times.

Roll dough to ¾-inch-thickness and cut with biscuit cutter. Bake on a sheet tray in a preheated 400 F oven for 12 minutes, turning once. Brush biscuits with melted butter and serve. Makes about 1 dozen biscuits.
