1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined
Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs
Slowly stir in buttermilk until the dough forms a shaggy mass (do not overmix)
Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1/4 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet
