Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cups Whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). 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 fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour the whole milk into the dry mixture and gently stir with a fork or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting for the best rise. Re-roll the scraps as needed and cut out additional biscuits.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crispy edges.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping!
