In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 tablespoons of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Cut 1/2 cup of cold, unsalted butter into small cubes and blend into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

After chilling, pour in 3/4 cup of whole milk and gently stir until just combined.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and flatten into a rectangle about 8x5 inches and 3/4 inch thick.

Using a biscuit cutter or glass, cut the dough into circles and place on a lined baking sheet.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the biscuits for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
