Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds until the dough holds together. Be careful not to over-knead.
  6. Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits are lightly golden on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
