  ⏱ Start 5 min timer
• Dough: Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together, then cut in the cold butter until it looks like coarse crumbs.
• Dough: Stir in the buttermilk and the yeast mixture just until it comes together into a soft dough.
• Rise: Cover and let rise in a warm spot.
  ⏱ Start 45 min timer

  Tip: It won't double the way a straight yeast dough would — expect it to look puffy and slightly risen, not dramatically larger.

• Shape: Turn onto a floured surface, pat to 3/4 inch thick, and cut rounds with a floured cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.
• Bake: Arrange on a lined sheet and bake at 200°C (400°F) until golden.
