Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup 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 or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk. Gently stir the mixture with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Step 6

Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass dipped in flour), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, re-pat the dough, and cut additional biscuits. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter to enhance their flavor and give them a shiny finish.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite meal. Enjoy!
