Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for brushing tops)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a spatula or fork until the mixture just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently 3 to 4 times just until it becomes a cohesive ball.

Step 6

Pat the dough to about a 1-inch thickness. Use a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out as many biscuits as possible, re-rolling scraps once if necessary.

Step 7

Place the cut biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.

Step 8

If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream to promote browning in the oven.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy with butter, jam, or gravy.
