Select a step number to highlight that step.

Heat oven to 425 F. Place flours, rosemary, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together thoroughly.
Use the large holes on a handheld cheese grater to grate the frozen butter directly into the flour mixture. Stir lightly and briefly to combine.
Make a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture, pour in the buttermilk and use a fork to stir until mixture just barely comes together as dough.
Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 4 to 5 turns. Use a floured rolling pin or your fingers to roll or lightly press the dough out to a thickness of 3/4 inch.
Use a floured 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds, taking care to slice straight down into the dough without twisting the cutter. Gather any dough scraps, press them together and cut additional biscuits.
Transfer biscuits to an ungreased pan. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until high and golden brown. Serve hot or warm.
