Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Milk

    Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
