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

In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Grate cold butter using a box grater and mix into the flour until crumbly.

Add milk and gently stir just until combined.

Transfer dough to a floured surface and gently bring together.

Fold dough in half, rotate, and repeat 5–6 times to create layers.

Flatten to 1-inch thickness. Cut biscuits using a floured cutter.

Place biscuits close together on baking sheet.

Bake for 12 minutes until lightly golden.

Brush with melted butter if desired and serve warm.

This method guarantees tender easy homemade biscuits every time.
