Dessert Buttermilk Biscuits

Makes 6

2 cups self-rising flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/2 cup (1 stick) cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces

3/4 cup cold buttermilk


.

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the flour with the sugar and butter in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter by hand or by machine until the mixture is evenly crumbly.

2. Add the buttermilk and stir only until well moistened. Turn out onto a work surface lightly sprinkled with flour and gather mixture into a dough. Flatten to make a circle 3/4-inch thick.

3. Use biscuit cutter dipped in flour to cut six 3-inch rounds from the dough circle. With a spatula, transfer the rounds to an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a rack. Eat while still warm.
