Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cup low-fat milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until combined.
Cut 0.5 cup of cold unsalted butter into small cubes, then add them to the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together 0.75 cup of low-fat milk and 1 large egg until well combined.
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times just until it holds together. Be careful not to overwork it.
Roll the dough out to about a 3/4-inch thickness, then use a round cutter to cut out the biscuits. Gently re-roll the scraps to use up all the dough.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with your favorite low-sodium spreads or jams.
