1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with tin foil.
2. Place 3 3/4 cups flour in a large mixing bowl. Slice butter into 12 or so slices and dump into flour. Using your hands, scoop up a handful of flour with a pad of butter in the middle and rub your fingers together to rub the flour into the butter. Use both hands to pull apart the pads of butter and rub into the flour. Repeat this process for 2-3 minutes until it resembles a large-grained sand-like mixture. (There should be no chunks bigger than a pea.)
3. Use a wooden spoon to gently stir in sugar and baking powder. Crack 2 eggs into the bowl. Break the yolks with the spoon and then gently turn the yolks into the dough until fully incorporated.
4. Add half of the milk and stir until fully combined. Add remaining milk a couple tablespoons at a time until the batter is quite wet and sticky.
