Equipment

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!
  1. Preheat oven to 475°F. Grate frozen butter using large holes of a box grater. Toss together grated butter and flour in a medium bowl. Chill for 10 minutes.
  2. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add buttermilk, and stir 15 times. The dough will be sticky.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly sprinkle flour over the top of the dough.
  4. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle (about 9 x 5 inches). Fold dough in half so short ends meet. Repeat the rolling and folding process 4 more times.
  5. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch floured round cutter, reshaping scraps and flouring as needed.
  6. Place dough rounds on a parchment paper-lined jelly-roll pan.
  7. Bake at 475°F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush with melted butter or my cinnamon, sweeten, condensed whipped butter
