Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and 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.
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 dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Gently stir with a fork or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 4-5 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle or rectangle.
Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-form the dough, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter to enhance browning and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam.
