In a medium-size, bowl add flour, baking powder, and butter. Using a pastry cutter, work through the butter and flour until the mixture is crumbly.

Stir in milk slowly, moving the flour mixture around as you pour so it is evenly moistened. Stir a little until it all sticks together. With a little bit of flour on hands knead a couple of times to form a ball.

Be very careful not to overwork the dough, this is how biscuits become tough. We want nice flaky biscuits.

On a lightly floured surface pat dough with hands until about 1/2″ thick.

Cut into 16 small biscuits or 8 larger biscuits. I make 8 biscuits using this recipe.

Place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 8-12 minutes depending on the size of biscuits and oven. Watch carefully after 8 minutes.

Cover with a clean towel to keep warm until ready to serve.
