Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Small pea-sized bits of butter are perfect—this helps create flaky layers.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a fork or spoon until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a thick rectangle about 1 inch high. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting the cutter to ensure they rise evenly.
Gently gather any scraps, reshape the dough, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet so they are touching slightly for soft sides, or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
