Flaky Homemade Biscuits Recipe

Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the Milk:
- Gradually add the cold milk to the flour mixture, stirring gently with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Shape the Biscuits:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
- Pat or roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Prepare for Baking:
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- For a golden finish, brush the tops of the biscuits with a beaten egg (optional).
Bake the Biscuits:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.

For extra flaky biscuits, fold the dough over itself a few times before cutting out the biscuits.
You can add cheese, herbs, or spices to the dough for different flavor variations.

Enjoy your homemade flaky biscuits, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side with your favorite meal!
