Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the whole milk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Step 6

Using a round biscuit cutter or the edge of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the scraps as needed to cut additional biscuits.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as jam, honey, or gravy.
