Best Biscuits

I've made these several times and they have never failed to produce light flaky biscuits.

2 cups of flour

1 tbsp. baking powder

1 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

8 tbsp. butter, cubed

3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients and cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until mixture looks like small crumbs. Pour the milk into the mixture and mix with a spoon. Turn out mixture on to floured counter and knead a few times to combine, form into a flat disk about 3/4 inch thick. Cut biscuits and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned.
