     Title: Leon's Buttermilk Biscuits
Categories: Breads, Dairy
     Yield: 12 Servings

   720 g  (6 c) A-P flour
    68 g  (1/3 c) baking powder
    14 g  (1 tb) kosher salt
     2 g  (1/2 ts) fresh ground
          - pepper
    26 g  (2 tb) granulated sugar
   227 g  (1 c) unsalted butter
     3 c  Buttermilk

 Freeze the butter until it is solid enough to grate on a
 cheese grater. 30 minutes or longer. Dust the frozen
 sticks of butter with flour. Grate the butter into a
 container, cover, and return to the freezer.

 Set the oven @ 400ºF/205ºC. Line a baking sheet with
 parchment paper.

 Combine the flour, baking powder, salt , pepper, and
 black pepper in a large bowl and mix together. Add the
 frozen butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter, to
 work in the butter until they are resemble small flecks.
 Like peas. Add the buttermilk and stir until the dough
 is fully hydrated.

 Dust your work surface generously with all-purpose flour
 and turn the dough out onto the surface. Dust the dough
 with a bit of flour. Fold one third of the dough to the
 center then fold the other third on top, much like a
 letter. This "lamination" process is helping create the
 layers. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the
 dough out to a rectangle about 1" thick. Continue this
 process 3 more times. Be careful not to overwork the
 dough. Your ending result should look like a 5" by 12"
 rectangle that is about 1" thick. Cut the dough into
 equal parts and be sure to cut squares! This prevents
 waste.

 Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet and
 freeze them for one hour. Once solid, remove them and
 wrap with plastic wrap. Continue to let them freeze
 overnight. Baking from frozen allows the dough to create
 more layers of flakes.

 Bake the frozen biscuits for 35 minutes, rotating the
 baking sheet after halfway. They should rise, and be
 golden brown.

 Brush with sorghum butter, and serve!
