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 cubed
- 0.75 cups whole milk
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 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, mix until the butter pieces are about the size of small peas.
Pour in the milk and gently stir until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Fold the dough in half and pat it down again. Repeat this process 3-4 times to create flaky layers.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (dusted with flour to prevent sticking), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently re-roll any scraps to make additional biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam!
