Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.33 cup Whole milk (or buttermilk)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small, pea-sized bits of butter.
Slowly pour in the milk (or buttermilk), stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat and fold the dough over itself 2-3 times to create flaky layers. This step is crucial for texture.
Pat the dough into a rectangle that's about 3/4-inch thick, and use a 2 to 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out 2 biscuits. Gently re-roll and cut any scraps if needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're slightly touching for softer edges or spaced apart for crisper edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for an irresistible finish.
Serve warm with your favorite spreads or enjoy as is. Perfect for a quick breakfast or as a side for any meal!
