Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Step 3
Add cold butter cubes and cut in with a fork or your fingers until mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Pour buttermilk into the center and fold gently with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 5
Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Step 6
Cut into 8 wedges or use a biscuit cutter. Arrange on prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake until golden brown on top, 12-15 minutes. Tops should feel firm.
Step 8
Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
