Biscuits

Preheat oven to 425. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Transfer to food processor. Cut butter into pats and add to flour, then pulse 5 or 6 times until the mix resembles rough crumbs (or cut in with pastry cutter). Return to bowl, add milk and stir w fork until it forms a rough ball. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and pat it down into a rough rectangle, about an inch thick. Fold it over and gently pat it down again. Repeat. Cover dough loosely w a kitchen towel and allow it to rest for 30 min. Gently pat out some more, so rectangle is roughly 10 x 6. Cut into biscuits using floured glass. Do not twist glass when cutting. Place biscuits on cookie sheet and bake until golden brown, 10-15 min.
