Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons cold butter
  • 3/4 cup cold milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat, and set aside for later. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together until combined. 
  • Cut or blend in the cold butter, using a pastry blender, into the flour mixture- until the mix looks like flour with small pea sized butter pieces. 
  • Slowly stir in the milk, using a wooden spoon, until the biscuit dough begins to form. 
  • Use a spoon to scoop out about 1/3 cup of dough and place directly on top of the prepared baking sheet. 
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are a golden brown.
