Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- Honey or jam (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the whole milk and stir gently with a spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough biscuits.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle and use a biscuit cutter or a small circular cutter (like a glass) to cut out biscuits.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small piece of dough into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
Carefully place a few biscuits into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried biscuits with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough until all the biscuits are cooked.
Serve warm with honey, jam, or butter for a delicious treat.
