Amazing Buttermilk Biscuits

These biscuits are AMAZING! I know it's so bizarre to have cake flour as one of the ingredients, but trust me...it's worth it! I used the Neely's biscuit recipe, but I substituted one cup of flour with cake flour. Little did I know these biscuits would turn out to be the best Buttermilk Biscuits I've made to date. 

Buttermilk Biscuits

(Adapted from: The Neely's)

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup cake flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

8 tablespoons ice cold butter

3/4 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Slice butter and put on a plate in the freezer. Sift the dry ingredients together into a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until it looks like coarse sand. Add the buttermilk and continue to cut the dough together. Turn out onto a floured surface and gently bring together. Gently press the dough into a rectangle until it is between 1/2 and 3/4-inch thick. Use a round cutter that has been floured to cut the biscuits. Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes. Remove biscuits from freezer and place on parchment paper on a baking sheet so they are touching each other. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve with spiced butter.
