These are biscuits that my kids love...an old family recipe.
2 cups self rising flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1/3 cup cold butter
1 cup buttermilk
Combine first 3 ingredients, mix well.
Cut in butter with pastry blender until it resembles coarse meal.
Add buttermilk until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead lightly 3 or 4 times. Dough will be soft.
Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut with 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place on greased baking sheet. Tops may be brushed with melted butter.
Bake at 375 for 18 to 20 minutes or lightly brown.
