To make this the best way possible, take the stick of butter and put it in the freezer a minimum of 20 minutes to freeze and harden. (My butter was in there for about a week, I was going to make this last weekend.)

Preheat oven to 425°F

Grab a large mixing bowl and add in the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt, whisk it together.

Grab a cheese grater and grate the butter right into the flour mixture. Mix the ingredients together with a fork. It’ll be very crumbly.

Pour in the cold milk and mix it with that same fork.

Scrape as much of the batter out as you can and place onto a surface.

Flatten the dough and make a rectangle. Fold the dough over itself again, gently flatten it. Fold over and and repeat. Fold dough a minimum 4 more times. I believe I folded it over about 6-8 times.

Gently flatten the dough, using a biscuit cutter, or a donut cutter (for filled donuts like I did). You can use anything that’s round to cut the biscuits. Size and cooking times will vary, but it’s all about your preference or what you have.

Gently press the cutter into the dough and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Fold the dough over again and continue cutting till you have no more dough to make another biscuit. Do not press down hard with the cutter or folding, you want layers in your biscuits to show.

Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with milk. Bake 13-18 minutes till golden.

Serve with my sausage and gravy recipe.
