Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup whole milk (cold)
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, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks crumbly and the butter pieces are about the size of small peas.
Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk. Gently stir with a fork or spatula just until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 4-5 times to bring it together into a cohesive mass. Press the dough out into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Using a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits until the dough is used up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the tops.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
