Set the oven temperature to 425°F, or 220°C. Put parchment paper on a baking pan.
Get the Dry Products Ready:
Flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if used) should be whisked together in a large basin.
Incorporate the Butter:
Combine the flour and cold, cubed butter. To make coarse crumbs, combine the flour and butter and cut with a pastry cutter or your fingertips.
Put the Milk in:
Add the milk (or buttermilk) to the mixed flour. Be cautious not to overmix; stir until barely mixed. Slightly sticky dough is the desired consistency.
Toss the dough:
Slightly dust a surface with flour and transfer the dough onto it. To bring the dough together, gently knead it a couple of times.
Pat the biscuits out and slice them:
Impress a 1/2-inch thickness onto the dough by rolling it out. For biscuits, a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter can do the trick. Carefully arrange the biscuits on the baking sheet that has been preheated, being sure to leave some space between them.
The egg wash might be prepared if desired.
