Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This will ensure your biscuits bake evenly and rise beautifully.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Add Butter

    Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combining

  1. 4

    Add Milk

    Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture, and pour in the milk. Gently stir the mixture with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Baking

  1. 5

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.

  2. 6

    Cut the Biscuits

    Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are touching slightly.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Warm

    Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm with butter or jam.
