Ingredients

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

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.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. 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. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 6-8 times, just until it comes together.

Step 6

Pat or roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or a similarly sized round cutter, press straight down to cut out biscuits. Gather and re-roll the scraps as needed to cut out more biscuits.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with butter, jam, or honey for the perfect start to your day!
