Ingredients

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
3/4 cup whole milk

Instructions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 400°.
In a large mixing bowl, measure and add the flour, baking powder, kosher salt and sugar. Whisk to combine.
Next, drop in the cold unsalted butter.
NOTE: Before I start making the drop biscuits, I will cut the butter into pieces, put them into a bowl and pop them into the freezer for a few minutes.
Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal with pea-size pieces.
Pour in the milk and using a fork, stir it into the flour mixture until evenly moist. The dough should not be overly wet.
Divide the dough into 8 portions. Use a scoop to gather each individual portion and place (mound) on the prepared pan about an inch or so apart.
Bake the drop biscuits on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached. Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even baking.
Serve warm or at room temperature. See post for ways to enjoy homemade biscuits!
