Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
• Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
• Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
