2) Put buttermilk in freezer as well until a layer of ice forms on top
3) Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl, ensuring baking powder is fresh (less than 2 months opened). This step should occur before removing wet ingredients from the freezer

6) If butter starts to melt in dough, put in freezer for 5 minutes
7) If a batch is waiting to go in the oven, allow it to wait in the freezer
8) Bake for 12 minutes or until edges are blown and golden brown
9) Once biscuits come out of the oven, brush with melted butter/garlic mixture while hot
