These homemade biscuits are the perfect flaky and buttery treat, ideal for breakfast or with any meal.

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

6 Tablespoons unsalted butter very cold (85g)

¾ cup whole milk¹ (177ml)

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times before rolling it to about 1 inch thickness.
Cut out biscuits using a round cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy!

For best results, ensure your butter is very cold before mixing it into the dry ingredients. You can also add herbs or cheese for a twist.
