Buttermilk Biscuits

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, Kristin, who will probably post on here soon. They are the best biscuits I've ever had.

1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. pastry flour (Use regular flour if not available, but this is best)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. cold butter
3/4 c. buttermilk

Combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter. Add buttermilk and mix until barely moistened. Flatten and fold dough 5-6 times on counter. Roll out and cut. Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes. The less you handle the dough, the better.
