I think this recipe is very similar to the Cooker's biscuits. Enjoy. We have.
FLUFFY BISCUITS
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour 1 cup plain cake flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. granulated sugar 1/2 tsp. table salt 1/4 lb. unsalted, chilled butter cut into 1/4-inch cubes 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted 3/4 cup buttermilk; additional if needed
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and position your rack in the middle of the oven.
Mix the first 6 ingredients together in a mixing bowl or the bowl of your food processor. With a pastry blender or the steel blade of your food processor, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
If mixing by hand, stir in the buttermilk with a spatula or fork until the mixture is a soft, slightly sticky ball. Add more buttermilk if necessary. If using a food processor, add the buttermilk and pulse process until dough gathers into moist clumps. Remove and form into a ball.
Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into twelve equal portions. Lightly bat a portion of the dough back and forth until a ball forms, and then pat lightly with cupped hands to form a rough ball. Place formed dough rounds 1-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush dough tops with melted butter.
Bake until biscuit tops are lightly brown, about 10-12 minutes.
