Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (cold)
- 10 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 grams Salt
- 120 milliliters Milk (cold)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized chunks of butter.
Gradually add the cold milk into the mixture while gently stirring with a fork. Stop mixing as soon as the dough comes together—avoid overworking it to keep the pastry light and flaky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 2.5 cm (1-inch) thick rectangle. If desired, fold the dough in half and pat it out again to create additional flakiness.
Use a round biscuit cutter or a knife to cut the dough into 6 even pieces. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
