Preparation

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the biscuits.

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.

Cut in Butter
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Milk
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Shape the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently about 5 to 6 times, just until it comes together. Pat it down to about 1-inch thickness.

Cut Biscuits
Using a floured biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are touching slightly for soft sides.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
