Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups Whole milk (cold)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted 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 flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cold milk. Gently stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly shaggy.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times to bring it together, then pat or roll it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Step 6

Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass dipped in flour to cut out biscuits. Press down straight without twisting the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise evenly. Re-roll the scraps to cut out more biscuits.

Step 7

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are touching slightly for soft-sided biscuits or spaced apart for crisp edges.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter for added flavor and shine.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey, and enjoy!
