Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Incorporate Butter: Add cold, cubed butter to the dry mix. Blend using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Milk: Gradually mix in the milk until the dough is just combined but still sticky.
- Shape the Biscuits: On a floured surface, gently knead the dough 4-5 times. Roll to 1 inch thick and cut out biscuits.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place biscuits on the sheet so they touch. This helps them rise uniformly and stay moist.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
