  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F . Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Lightly flour your work surface.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  5. Pour the buttermilk into the mixture and gently mix until the dough starts to come together.
  6. Turn out the dough onto your prepared work surface.
  7. Pat the dough into a rectangle using your hands.
  8. Take one end of the rectangle and fold it over to the other. Gently flatten back into a rectangle. Repeat this twice more, then flatten into a rectangle again that is about 1/2 inch thick.

  10. Gently bring together the scraps, then cut out more biscuits. You should get 8 biscuits total.
