1teask salt

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and instant chicken powder.
Add cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your clean hands to work the butter into the dry stuff until it’s in pea-sized pieces.
Add buttermilk and stir to combine. Knead the dough a few times with your hands until it comes together in a loose ball.
Scoop dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out and fold it over itself a few times. Repeat a few times and then roll it out into a rectangle about ⅓-½ inch thick. Use a rounder cutter to cut out 12 medium-sized biscuits. Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
(If you don’t have a round cutter, you can also just cut biscuits into squares.)
Brush biscuits with a little buttermilk.
Bake biscuits for 16-18 minutes until they are golden brown and puffed.
Remove and let cool a bit before serving.
Serve biscuits while warm or store in an airtight container for a day. For longer storage transfer to fridge.
