Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, stir together sugar and vanilla until completely moistened.

Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk until evenly blended.

Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 table knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in buttermilk just until a dough forms.

On a lightly floured work surface, pat dough together and flatten into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Cut into 12 squares and place about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
