1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into pieces

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder
Cut butter into pieces, then add to flour. Pulse until you see pea size pieces.
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
Add milk to dry ingredients, then pulse again five to ten times, just until it comes together.
1 cup milk
Liberally flour a surface and knead dough on it briefly. Add flour as needed to keep it from sticking to you or the counter.
Pat dough into a rectangle about an inch thick. Cut into nine squares or rounds.
Place biscuits onto baking sheet with a silpat about 1/2 inch apart. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden.

Notes

If you are dairy free or vegan, you can easily adjust this recipe. Substitute an equal amount coconut oil for the butter, and do the same for coconut milk or rice milk with the cow's milk. With coconut oil so hard, the blades of the food processor work great to chop it easily and create perfect biscuits.
These are best served warm and eaten immediately. You can store them in a sealed container once they've cooled, but eat them the next day. If you have leftovers, you can also freeze them and reheat gently in the oven when you're ready to eat them. Or have them for dessert or breakfast - breaking them apart and spreading them with jam.
