Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or two knives, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in 3/4 cup of cold buttermilk. Stir just until the dough holds together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently a few times only, until it holds together and is smooth. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thickness.
Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them close together on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the scraps together and repeat until all dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like butter, honey, or jam.
