1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
4. Add Cold Butter: Add the cold, chopped butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
6. Knead Lightly: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it lightly, about 5-6 times, until it comes together.
7. Roll and Cut: Roll the dough to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
10. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
