Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp white sugar

2½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

½ cup chilled butter, diced

1¼ cups whole milk

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut in Butter: Add diced chilled butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until crumbly.

Add Milk: Pour in milk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix—dough will be sticky.

Drop & Bake: Spoon heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden on top.

Serve Warm: Best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with butter, honey, or jam.
