Preheat the oven to 425F; line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs and some pieces of butter remain the size of small peas.
Cut in the Boursin® Maple Bourbon Cheese with a fork or pastry cutter.
Make a well in the center of the dough and pour in the buttermilk and vanilla. Mix just until the dough is combined, being careful not to over-mix. It will look crumbly.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle. Fold the rectangle into thirds, folding first the bottom half 1/3 over the middle and then folding the top 1/3 up over the bottom 1/3. Give the dough a 1/4 turn and flatten it. Repeat this process twice.
Put the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to stamp out biscuits.
Gather the dough scraps, re-roll them into 1/2-inch thick rectangle, and stamp the dough into biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking tray (touching if you want them to rise highest), and brush the tops with a little buttermilk.
Bake until the biscuits are golden, about 15 minutes.
These are best served warm.

To store leftover biscuits, let them cool to room temperature and then put them in a zip-top plastic bag. Store them at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat biscuits, thaw them if frozen. Place them on a baking tray and bake until warm, about 5 to 10 minutes in a 350F oven.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can use whole milk here. However, if you like the tang of a buttermilk biscuit you can make your own sour milk. To do so, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, white vinegar, or apple cider vinegar to the 2 cups of milk for this recipe.
These biscuits are delicious served with a spread of Boursin® Maple Bourbon Cheese and a drizzle of honey.
