Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup Milk (cold)
• 0 All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the cold milk. Stir gently with a fork or spatula just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it into a cohesive ball.

Step 6

Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a round biscuit cutter (about 2-2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them. Re-roll the scraps and cut out more biscuits as needed.

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 allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam!
