Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Pulse the flour in a food processor with the baking powder, sugar and salt.

  2. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Add the buttermilk and pulse a couple of times until the dough just comes together but is not fully incorporated.
