Instructions

1 Heat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment (or butter
an oven-safe 10-inch or 12-inch skillet like a cast iron pan).
2 Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl (or a food
processor). Then grate the frozen butter using a box grater or cube the cold
butter and add it to the flour mixture. If using grated butter, stir it in; if
using cubed butter, cut it in with a pastry cutter or food processor until the
mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3 Make a well in the middle of the flour, and then pour in the milk (or
buttermilk). Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
4 Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle a little flour
on top, and then bring the dough together. If the dough is too sticky, add flour
as needed.
5 Without working the dough too much, pat it down into a rectangle about 1 inch
thick. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter, press gently to flatten,
rotate the dough, and repeat 3 or 4 times to build layers and make your biscuits
tall.
6 Pat the dough into a rectangle between 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch thick. Press a 2-3
inch cutter straight down into the dough, without twisting (which seals the
edges and prevents rise) and transfer them to the prepared skillet (or parchment
lined baking sheet).
7 Gently rework the remaining scraps and cut as many biscuits as possible.
8 Bake until the biscuit tops are beginning to turn lightly golden brown, about 10
to 15 minutes. Brush with melted salted butter immediately after removing from
the oven. Serve warm.
