Enjoy these fluffy and buttery biscuits, perfect for any meal or occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Preheating ensures the biscuits bake evenly and develop a golden crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly helps distribute the leavening agent evenly.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using cold butter is key to creating flaky layers in the biscuits.
Gradually stir in the milk until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
Overmixing can make the biscuits tough, so mix just until combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
Handle the dough gently to keep it light and airy.
Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking and ensure clean cuts.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the biscuits to avoid overbaking, which can dry them out.
Serve the warm biscuits with butter or your favorite topping.
Serving biscuits warm enhances their flavor and texture.
