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 and cut into small cubes
- 0.75 cups Whole milk, chilled
- 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional toppings (e.g., honey, jam, or cheese)
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 cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It's okay for some small pea-sized chunks of butter to remain.
Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the chilled milk. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough—it should be slightly shaggy and sticky.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then in half again (this creates flaky layers). Pat it out again into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll any scraps and cut out additional biscuits as needed.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as honey, jam, or savory options like cheese.
