Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with a total of 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Place in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 425°F.<br> Bake to a rich golden brown color, 15-17 minutes. use a spatula to carefully remove the biscuits (they will be tender) to a rack to cool for at least 5 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
