Sift dry ingredients together thoroughly. You want to make sure that the baking powder is mixed throughout for even rising.

Cut cold butter into small cubes and add to flour. Note: it is vital the butter is cold as it will melt during cooking and create these delicious, light air pockets in your biscuits.

Use your hands or a pastry tool to blend butter into the floor. If doing this by hand, keep squeezing flour and butter together. Eventually, it will start to take on the look of what some people say is like corn meal. The look is not exactly the same, but the flour will no longer look powdery.

Make a small mound in the center of your dough and pour in milk. Note that you may need to add a bit more until dough forms a lump the consistency of Play-Doh.

Y'all, I like to just kerplop the mixture onto parchment paper with a spoon. If you want pretty biscuits, you can roll them out on a cutting board and cut with the top of a small drinking glass.

Cook at 400 degrees for 18 minutes or until brown.
