Preheat your oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or using parchment paper.

This will ensure the biscuits bake evenly and don’t stick.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Mix these dry ingredients well to distribute everything evenly.

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.

Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add the milk to the mixture and gently stir until the dough starts to hold together.

Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep the biscuits light and airy.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times.

Roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut the biscuits with a round cutter.

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.

Make sure they are close together to encourage rising.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
