INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix and Cut: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the Milk: Pour the milk into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine.
4. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
5. Bake and Enjoy: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
