Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures the biscuits bake properly.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix thoroughly with a whisk.
Cut in Butter
Add the cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Making the Biscuit Dough
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead it 5-6 times until it holds together. Pat it down to about 1-inch thickness.
Cut the Biscuits
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
Bake the Biscuits
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Cool Slightly
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Warm
Serve the biscuits warm with butter and jam of your choice for a delightful treat.
