Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons 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 grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to combine evenly.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork; you want small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.

Step 5

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead it 3–4 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.

Step 6

Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2 to 2½ inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure even rising. Gather the scraps and repeat until all dough is used.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together for softer edges or spaced slightly apart for crispier edges.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or honey.
