Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk and stir gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times until it comes together. Avoid over-kneading as it can make the dough tough.
Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cutter (approximately 6 inches in diameter) to cut out circles of dough.
Invert oven-safe bowls (metal or heatproof glass) onto the prepared baking sheet, and lightly grease the outside surface of the bowls with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Drape each dough circle over the inverted bowls, pressing down gently to mold the dough to the bowl’s shape. Trim any excess dough hanging off the edges.
Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the surface of the dough to give it a golden, shiny finish after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit bowls are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the bowls to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the inverted oven-safe bowls. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Fill the biscuit bowls with your favorite fillings, such as creamy soups, hearty chili, or even sweet fruit and whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
