Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter or line a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a fork or 2 table knives, combine the butter and flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Slowly add the milk, stirring with a fork, to the desired consistency.
- For softer biscuits, drop 2 tablespoons of the dough onto the lined baking sheet. For firmer biscuits, turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and gently knead just to bring the dough together. Carefully roll out the dough about 3/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or sturdy glass, cut about 12 biscuits, rerolling any scraps. Place on the lined baking sheet. (The biscuits can be frozen at this point. Freeze on the baking sheet, then remove to a resealable container or plastic bag for easier storage.) Bake the biscuits for 13 to 15 minutes (add 3 to 4 additional minutes for frozen ones), until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve warm.

THE BEST FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
We tried several versions of this recipe, including one with double the amount of baking powder. And while the biscuits turned out puffy and beautiful, they ultimately were too dry. So, we tweaked the baking powder amount along with the butter and buttermilk and arrived at these beauties -flaky, golden, tender and moist, just as biscuits should be.

Tips:
- Use chilled butter: Chilling the butter before cutting it into the flour helps keep the biscuits flaky and light.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Let the dough rest before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps the biscuits rise and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.
- Don't overbake the biscuits: Overbaking the biscuits will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the biscuits just until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Biscuits are a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
