Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a small well in the center of the bowl and pour in the buttermilk.
Stir gently until the dough begins to come together—avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead just a few times until it holds together.
Roll the dough out to about ¾ inch thickness.
Cut out biscuits using a round cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Gather and gently re-roll the scraps to cut additional biscuits.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and lightly browned.
Brush the hot biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor.
