| 1. Heat the oven to 500°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. | 2. Whisk flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. | 3. Add the butter cubes and, using your fingers, break them up into the flour until the mixture is filled with pea-sized bits (you should have definite “butter” pieces). Don’t work the butter too hard, it will melt the butter. | 4. Add the buttermilk and stir until all or most of the flour is absorbed by the buttermilk and the dough forms a coarse, slightly sticky lump. | 5. Turn out the dough on a well-floured surface. | 6. With floured hands, press the dough into a ½”-thick rectangle. | 7. Starting from the shorter ends, letter-fold the dough. Rotate 90°. | 8. Press out again into a ½”-thick rectangle and repeat the letter-folding (again from the “new” short ends). | 9. Turn dough 90°, press out and fold one more time. You will have folded a total of three times. | 10. Press out into a ¾”-thick rectangle. | 11. Use a sharp knife to cut the rectangle into 10 even pieces. Do not “saw” the dough. If using a glass or biscuit cutter, don’t twist down – it seals all the edges. | 12. If you are using a cutter, you’ll be able to re-press the scraps about two more times with similar flakiness. | 13. Place biscuits on the sheet, brush with buttermilk and place in the oven. | 14. Immediately drop the temperature to 450°F and bake 8 minutes. | 15. Rotate the pan 180° and bake a further 6 minutes. | 16. Immediately place biscuits on a wire rack to cool. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
