Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups cold milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers. Work until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
Gradually add the cold milk to the bowl. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Do not knead the dough.
Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (about 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure proper rising.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart for crisp edges or touching for softer sides.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or honey.
