Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3: Add the butter

Add the cold cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Small butter pieces are important for flaky layers.

Step 4: Add the milk

Pour in the cold milk or buttermilk. Stir gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Shape the biscuits

Place the dough on a floured surface. Gently flatten to about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick. Fold the dough over itself 2–3 times to create layers. Cut using a round cutter.

Step 6: Bake

Place biscuits on the baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 7: Finish with butter

Remove from the oven and brush immediately with melted butter for extra flavor.
