Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Add 1/4 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in 3/4 cup milk and stir gently until just combined without overmixing.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly a few times until it comes together.

Roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter without twisting.

Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown on top.

Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm.
