Preheat the Oven:

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

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

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

Cut in the Butter:

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the Milk:

Slowly pour in the milk, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits dense.

Roll and Cut the Biscuits:

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 2–3 times to bring it together, then roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits.

Bake:

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Brush with Butter (Optional):

For an extra buttery flavor, brush the tops of the warm biscuits with melted butter right after baking.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as honey, jam, or gravy.
