Ingredients

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

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 until well combined.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to avoid melting the butter.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Combine any scraps of dough, pat it out again, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 7

Place the biscuits about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet for crisp edges, or close together for soft sides.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.
