Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Gradually stir in the milk, using a fork or spoon to mix until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but not overly wet.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or as a side for your favorite meal.
