Ingredients

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

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, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks crumbly and the butter pieces are about the size of small peas.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk. Gently stir with a fork or spatula just until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 4-5 times to bring it together into a cohesive mass. Press the dough out into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Using a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits until the dough is used up.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
