Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, chilled and 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 a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the chilled, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Step 5
Using a spoon, scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. You should have approximately 12 biscuits.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.
