In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times.
Pat or roll out to ½-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-½-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
