Macadamia Free Buttermilk Biscuits

Tall, flaky, golden-edged biscuits with a tender, buttery crumb — this is the kind of recipe that makes people think you've been baking for decades. The technique here is genuinely clever: frozen butter gets grated directly into the flour, creating those signature pea-sized pockets that puff into distinct, pull-apart layers in the oven. A quick fold-and-pat sequence builds even more structure without overworking the dough, so every biscuit rises high and stays light. Cold buttermilk brings a gentle tang that balances the richness of a full stick of butter, and brushing the tops before baking gives them that deep, glossy, bakery-worthy color. The ingredient list is refreshingly short — just pantry staples and dairy — so there's no need to scan labels or worry about unexpected additions sneaking in. Serve them straight from the oven alongside eggs and jam, or split one open and pile on whatever sounds good; either way, they disappear fast.
