Preheat oven to 450°F.

Mix the Bisquick, buttermilk and sugar together in a bowl.

Add the melted butter into the batter.Stir until a soft dough forms.

Turn out onto a well floured work surface. Knead 20 times, and don't be afraid to get additional flour into the dough.

Roll 1/2 thick, or thicker if you prefer towering biscuits. Cut out into 2" rounds

Brush tops with melted butter.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; I usually find 8 minutes is enough.
