Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0 extra flour for dusting
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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small, pea-sized pieces of butter.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough 2-3 times to bring it together, then pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Step 6
Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds of dough. Re-roll any scraps as needed to make additional biscuits.
Step 7
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are touching slightly if you prefer soft sides, or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with butter, jam, or your choice of accompaniments!
