Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups extra flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix evenly.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients in the food processor. Pulse until the butter is broken down into pea-sized pieces. Be careful not to over-process; small pieces of butter help create flaky layers.
Pour the milk into the food processor and pulse just until the dough starts to come together. Do not overmix; the dough should look shaggy.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times to bring it together. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Roll or pat the dough out to a 1-inch thickness. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down and avoid twisting the cutter, which can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
Gather the scraps, gently press them together, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are close but not touching. This helps them rise evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam.
