Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your biscuits will rise properly.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

Combining Ingredients

  1. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Take the unsalted butter and cut it into small pieces. Add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 4

    Add Milk

    Pour in the milk and stir gently with a fork or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Baking

  1. 5

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Gather any scraps and re-pat to cut more biscuits.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

  3. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm with butter, jam, or as a side to your favorite dishes.
