Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) with fan assist. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder and salt.
  3. Rub the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Add the milk and work it in to form a dough, adding a little more milk if it seems dry.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it smooth.
  5. Roll the dough to 1/8 inch thick and cut into rounds about 3 inches across. Re-roll the scraps to make more biscuits.
  6. Move the biscuits to the baking sheets and, if you like, dock them with a skewer to make holes.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.
  8. Let the biscuits cool completely before eating. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
