Rustic Sweet Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, plus more for serving, if desired
2/3 cup 2% milk*
1 teaspoon white vinegar*
1 – 2 teaspoons sugar
Fruit preserves of choice, for serving, optional

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut cold butter into small pieces and add to flour mixture. Using your fingers, pinch butter into flour mixture, until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Create a well in the center of flour mixture and pour milk and vinegar into it. Fold flour mixture from the outside inward, until a dough forms and takes shape. Form a large lump of dough in the bowl, then turn dough out onto a floured surface. Sprinkle dough with additional flour and pat down to about a 3/4 -inch thickness. Cut into rough squares and gently lift each square (biscuit) to a baking sheet. Sprinkle each biscuit very lightly with sugar.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until biscuits are golden. Serve immediately with butter and fruit preserves of choice, if desired.
