Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together flour, sugar, kosher salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cold buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough into a rectangle and cut into fourths. Stack each fourth on top of each other, and pat down into a rectangle again. Repeat procedure 3 more times. Pat or roll dough to 1-inch thickness. Using a 2 ½ inch round cutter dipped in flour, cut dough without twisting cutter, re-rolling scraps as necessary. Place biscuits 2 inches apart on prepared pan. Freeze until cold, about 10 minutes. Brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with salt.

Bake until golden brown for about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
