Cook Time: 20 min	Prep Time: 15 min
Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients:
Combine together in a large bowl:
2 cups of flour
3 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
¾ tablespoon salt

Cut in:
6 tablespoons of very cold butter

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400° F
* Scatter the butter over the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry blender or two table knives. The mixture is ready when it looks like coarse crumbs with small pieces of butter still visible.

Mix in:
1 cup of buttermilk

* stir gently with the wooden spoon until the mixture starts to clump together.

Make and shape the dough:

* Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and, as a gentle type of kneading, lift the far side up over onto the near side, pat it out gently into a fat circle, sprinkle on a little flour as necessary, then lift the left side over the right, the right over the left, and so forth, giving 6 folds in all. Finally, spread and pat the dough in to a reasonably smooth rectangle ¾ inch thick.

Cut out the biscuits and bake:

* Cut a round out of the dough with a biscuit cutter, 2 ¼ “ diameter. Lift the cutter and set the biscuit on a baking sheet. Repeat, cutting as close as possible to the previous shape and spacing the biscuits about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
* Gather up the scraps, gently press together, and cut out more biscuits.
* Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the biscuits are puffed and brown. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set it on the cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes.
