Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup whole milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the milk, using a fork or spoon to mix until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but not overly wet.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each biscuit.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or as a side for your favorite meal.
