Buttermilk Biscuits

½ c unsalted cold butter, diced
2 c all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2/3 c buttermilk
1 T unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450F.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and butter into a food processor and pulse until mixture is crumbly (alternatively, this can be done in a bowl with a pastry cutter).
Add the buttermilk and stir with a fork just until flour is moistened.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 2-3 times. Roll or pat dough out to ¾-inch thickness. Cut with a 2- or 2½-inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on a baking sheet.
Bake at 450 for 10-14 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter. Makes 8-12 biscuits depending on the size biscuit cutter you use.
