1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
3
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
6
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each.
7
Gather any leftover dough, pat it out again, and cut out additional biscuits.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

9
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your choice of toppings.
