Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the milk, using a fork or spoon to mix until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but not overly wet.
Using a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or as a side for your favorite meal.
