Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups whole milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
