Directions: |
Directions: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Pulse or whisk until well combined. Working quickly, cut one stick of butter in half lengthwise, then turn so the uncut side is facing up and cut in half lengthwise again. Cut crosswise into small cubes. Repeat with second stick of butter. If using a food processor: add butter and pulse until the largest pieces are pea-size. If using hands: working quickly, smash pieces of butter with fingertips until the largest pieces are pea-size. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together buttermilk and sour cream until smooth. Empty flour mixture into a large bowl, then add buttermilk mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Dough will look a bit shaggy and dry at this point. Turn out dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Form into a rough square, then roll out into a 12" square. Using a bench scraper if needed, fold the right⅓ of the dough over the center. Fold the top ⅓ of the dough over the center, followed by the bottom ⅓. You should now have roughly a 4" square. Roll out into a 12" square one more time and repeat the folding process. When you're back at a 4" square, roll out into a 9"x6" rectangle about 1" thick. Trim off the folded edges and cut your biscuits into 6 squares. Place on prepared baking sheet and freeze for 20 min.while dough is in freezer, preheat oven to 425º. Five minutes before baking, place another rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat. When biscuits are chilled, transfer to preheated baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Return to oven and bake until golden, 18-20 min. Brush with more butter and serve hot (or with sausage gravy)
*For Gravy
