Approximate preparation time: 10 minutes plus 10 minutes for baking

Preheat oven to 500°F. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper.

Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl of the Cuisinart® Food Processor. Add both flours, cream of tartar, and baking soda and process to combine for 10 seconds. Add the sugar, salt and pepper and process again for 5 seconds. Add the cold butter and pulse 15 times to incorporate into the dry ingredients, until the size of the butter resembles peas. With the machine running, pour the buttermilk through the feed tube and process until just incorporated. Remove dough from work bowl and place onto a well floured surface. Knead dough by hand about two times, form into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball and place evenly spaced onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake about 10 minutes, until golden brown. Once biscuits are ready, remove from oven and brush with melted butter. Serve immediately.
