## 👩🍳 Instructions
### 1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
### 2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
### 3. Cut in the Butter
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
### 4. Add Milk
Pour in the cold milk and stir gently until just combined — don’t overmix! The dough should be soft but not sticky.
### 5. Shape Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on your baking sheet.
### 6. Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
### 7. Butter Swim Time!
Immediately after baking, place the hot biscuits in a shallow dish and pour the melted butter over them, allowing the biscuits to “swim” and soak up all that buttery goodness.
