Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup whole milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reroll scraps as needed, gently working the dough to avoid toughness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm, slathered with butter, jam, or honey—or plain if you’re feeling bold!
