Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This ensures that your biscuits will bake evenly and rise perfectly.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cut in Butter
Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Shape the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough about 5-6 times until it holds together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Cut Biscuits
Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to keep them close together.
Bake
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Cool and Serve
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm with butter or your favorite jam.
