Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Grate in cold butter and kneed until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Pour milk into flour mixture while stirring with a fork. Mix in milk until dough is soft, moist and pulls away from the side of the bowl.

Step 4

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and toss with flour until no longer sticky. Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick sheet and cut with a floured biscuit or cookie cutter. Press together unused dough and repeat rolling and cutting procedure.

Step 5

Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheets and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

When using a cookie cutter, do not turn the cutter as it will prevent the biscuit from raising.
