Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

3/4 cup milk (preferably whole milk)

2 tablespoons sugar (optional for slightly sweet biscuits)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if

using) until well combined.

Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to

cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Milk: Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together.

The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Form and Bake the Biscuits

Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to

bring it together, but do not overwork the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.

Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass

to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the biscuits touch slightly

for soft edges.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Serve

Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few

minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings or accompaniments.
