Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Lightly flour your hands and pinch off small portions of the dough, rolling each into balls roughly the size of a ping pong ball. Place the balls evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuit balls are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuit balls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy! These biscuit balls pair beautifully with butter, jam, honey, or even gravy.
