Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 2.5 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1.33 cups Cold Milk
  • Melted Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Toss in cubed butter. Work it into the flour until the pieces are the size of peas to almonds.
  • Fold in the cold milk into the flour mixture until mostly moistened but still crumbly.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  • Fold the dough in half, cut it in half crosswise, and stack the halves on top of each other.
  • Repeat the folding, cutting, stacking, and patting process three more times.
  • Roll the dough to a thickness of ¾ to 1 inch and use a floured cutter to cut out the biscuits.
  • Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Brush with melted butter if desired. Enjoy them hot or store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuits and avoid overmixing the dough.
