Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
On a lightly floured surface, turn out your dough and gently knead it 2-3 times. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.
Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out your biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack. If freezing, cool completely before storing in a freezer-safe bag or container.
