Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
Other
  • 1/2 cup butter cold, cut into small pieces

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • pastry blender or fingertips
  • biscuit cutter or glass

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Mixing and Baking
  1. Cut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add the milk, stirring until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times. Roll or pat the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  4. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like butter, jam, or gravy.

Notes

For extra fluffy biscuits, make sure your butter and milk are very cold. Do not overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough biscuits. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, a regular drinking glass will work just as well.
