1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Cut the cold butter into cubes and return it to the refrigerator to keep it cold.
3
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and whisk together well.
4
Add the cold butter and work it into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the butter pieces are the size of peas with no large lumps remaining.
5
Pour in the milk and gently fold the mixture until the dough comes together and is sticky, with no dry flour visible. Add more milk by the tablespoon if needed.
6
Scoop 8 drop biscuits from the dough and place them on a lined baking sheet. They do not need to look perfect.
7
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
