Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Add the chilled butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
8. Roll out the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness and sprinkle the top with poppy seeds. Lightly press the seeds into the dough.
9. Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
10. Gather any scraps of dough, reroll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
11. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.
12. Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving.
