Preparation

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
