Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the biscuits.

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

Cut in Butter
Add the cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the milk gradually, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 30 seconds until it comes together.
