Not a bad recipe for biscuits, but here is how I do it. The biscuits come out a little less dense with a crispier crust. If spelt flour is available, I'd say use 2.25 cups of that.

2 cups AP flour
1 tbsp baking powder
Some salt
8 tbsp really cold butter
7/8 to 1 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp butter, melted

Take your dry ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. Cube your butter up into 1/4 tbsp cubes or smaller. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients. I do this by hand usually since a small amount of heat heat will help create incorporate it better. Once the mixture resembles course dirt with playground pebbles, add your buttermilk. You want the mixture to be slightly dry. Pop a piece of plastic wrap over the top and set in the fridge. Preheat your oven to 475 at this point. Once the oven is preheated, the dough should be ready to form into biscuits. Try not to manhandle the dough to much in this stage. I form them by hand using my thumb and forefinger create slugs that are about 2" wide by 1" tall. Place these in an ungreased baking sheet about 3/4" apart. Bake in oven until the uneven points on the top of the biscuit start to turn brown and the rest is golden. Brush with the melted butter.

Spelt flour makes the best biscuits. The lower gluten content and a slightly nutty flavor put it over other types of flour.
