Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle.
Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter. Turn it 90 degrees and pat it into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle again. Repeat this folding process 2-3 times for extra flaky layers.
Gently pat the dough to 3/4-inch thickness for the last time. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy!
