In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Beat on low-medium speed until the butter is nearly pea-sized. Pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into a rough rectangle. Fold the dough over onto itself and gently roll out to about ½'' tall. Repeat this one more time. Cut the dough into five equal pieces and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Freeze the biscuits for 20 minutes.
Bake!

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush the tops of the bicuits with buttermilk and bake for 18-20 minutes until they are golden brown.
