Biscuits Supreme
Fluffy, golden, and irresistibly tender, Biscuits Supreme are the ultimate homemade treat for breakfast or any time of day. This easy recipe combines pantry staples like all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar with chilled butter to create impossibly light and flaky biscuits. The secret lies in working the butter just right to form pockets of richness, while a touch of milk brings the dough together without overmixing. These buttery beauties bake up in just 12 minutes, delivering perfectly golden tops that can be enhanced with an optional egg wash for a bakery-style finish. Serve them warm and fresh from the oven, spread with butter, jam, or honey, or pair them with savory dishes like soups and stews. Perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike, Biscuits Supreme live up to their name with every soft, delicious bite.

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
- 0.75 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 large egg (optional, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your 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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the chilled butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter remaining.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky and shaggy.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently 5-6 times to bring it together into a smooth ball. Pat or roll the dough out to a thickness of about 3/4 inch.
Using a 2- to 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting. Re-roll the scraps and continue cutting until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart for crisp edges, or closer together if you prefer softer sides.
If desired, prepare an egg wash by whisking together the egg and water. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
