Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
3. Add the cold cubed butter and work it into the flour until the pieces range from pea-sized to almond-sized.
4. Fold in the cold milk with a spatula until most of the flour is moistened but the dough is still crumbly; do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Fold it in half, cut it crosswise, stack the halves, and pat it into a rectangle again. Repeat folding, cutting, stacking and patting 3 more times.
6. Roll the dough to 3/4 to 1 inch thick and cut out biscuits with a floured 2 1/2 to 3-inch round cutter. Place them on the baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops and bottoms are golden brown.
8. Brush with melted butter if desired. Serve warm, or cool completely on a wire rack; they keep at room temperature for up to 3 days.
