Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the milk and mix gently until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix; add extra milk if necessary.

- Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serve warm with butter or jam.
Notes
For best results, use cold butter straight from the fridge.
Feel free to add herbs or cheese for extra flavor.
