Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Cold whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the dough to ensure flaky biscuits.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk. Gently stir until the dough just comes together. It will be slightly sticky; don’t overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Fold the dough over itself several times to create layers, which help with flakiness. Pat it out into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 6

Using a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Press straight down without twisting to help the biscuits rise evenly. Gather the scraps, gently re-pat, and cut more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 8

Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for extra flavor and a beautiful sheen.

Step 9

Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or honey!
