Acts 2:17-21
[17] “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
[18] even on my male servants and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
[19] And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
[20] the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
[21] And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
2 c AP flour, aerate
5 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1 T sugar
1 t salt
6 T cold butter
3/4 c + 2 T buttermilk
Heat the oven to 425 degrees and set aside on a parchment lined baking sheet
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in the bowl and whisk
Add to food processor
Cut the cold butter into 6 slices, then scatter it over the flour in the food processor
Pulse 7 to 9 times or until the butter turns into tiny bits
Empty the butter-flour mixture back into the large bowl
Make a well in the middle, and then pour in buttermilk
Stir until a shaggy dough forms
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface
Sprinkle a little flour on top, and then bring the dough together with your hands
It might be a bit sticky, so add flour as needed
Without working the dough too much, pat it down into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick
Fold the dough into thirds
Rotate the rectangle and then repeat this process two more times
Pat the dough into a rectangle between 1/2 inch thick
Then use a 3 inch biscuit cutter to cut out
Do not twist the cutter, as this will seal the edges of the biscuits and prevent them from rising
Place the cut-out biscuits onto a baking sheet
Keeping them close to each other helps them rise
Gently press together the scraps and use them to make more biscuits, but be careful not to overwork the dough, or else they will be tough
Bake the biscuits until golden brown and have risen, 10 to 15 minutes
Brush tops with melted butter
