Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures the biscuits will bake evenly and rise properly.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- 3
Cut in Butter
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Shaping and Baking

Shape the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it is smooth, then pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Cut Biscuits
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds from the dough. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, with edges touching for softer sides or spaced apart for crusty sides.
- 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 overbaking.
Serving

Cool and Serve
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
