Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a quarter sheet baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  • Use a pastry cutter to cut the VERY COLD butter in. You want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough.
    ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • Stir in the buttermilk and mix just until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky.

  • Scoop the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Pat down gently to flatten slightly.

Prepare Topping
