Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Whole 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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the milk and gently stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid over-mixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a ¾-inch thick circle.
Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Re-roll any scraps and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with butter, jam, or gravy.
