Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt. Pulse a few times to ensure they are well mixed.

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients in the food processor. Pulse in short bursts until the butter is incorporated into pea-sized pieces and the mixture resembles coarse sand. Be careful not to overmix.

Transfer the butter-flour mixture to a large bowl. Gradually add the buttermilk, starting with about 3/4 cup, mixing gently with a fork or your hands until the dough just comes together and there are no dry, floury bits at the bottom of the bowl. Add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently form it into a rough rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds, like folding a letter.

Gently roll the folded dough out again into a rectangle, about 1-inch thick. Fold it into thirds once more.

Roll the dough one last time to a uniform thickness of about 1 inch. Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out individual biscuits. Avoid twisting the cutter to ensure a good rise.

Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top and risen.

Remove from the oven and serve warm, optionally with butter and jam.
