Set the oven @ 450ºF/232ºC.

In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking
soda and salt. Add the tallow and cut into the dry
ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork (you can also
pulse it with a food processor) until it resembles
coarse crumbs. Add the cold buttermilk and stir it until
just barely combined (a few little lumps are fine), be
careful not to over-stir. (If adding any herbs or
cheese, add them in with the buttermilk.) The dough will
be fairly wet, this is normal.

Flour a space on your counter or table and turn the
dough out onto the surface, using floured hands, very
gently pat the dough until it's uniformly 1" thick.
Gently fold the dough in half, turn it 90 degrees, then
fold it in half again. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap
and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Back on your floured surface, gently pat out the dough
to 1" thick again and use a 3" round biscuit cutter
(lightly floured) to cut out rounds, pressing straight
down and pulling straight up without twisting or
wiggling the cutter. No biscuit cutter? A washed soup
can or drinking glass will work in a pinch too. Gather
up the scraps, gently knead them together and pat the
dough out to 1 thickness. Cut out the remaining
rounds.

Place the biscuits on a lined sheet pan and bake for
about 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Brush the hot biscuits with butter (the biscuits will
readily absorb it) and serve the biscuits immediately
while warm.

TWEAKS (make it your own): Fresh herbs or shredded
cheese make for a great addition to change things up
some.
