Whether youβre a seasoned baker or a beginner looking to impress, this quick and easy biscuit recipe is a must-try for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or your hands. Knead lightly just until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and turn out the dough. Flatten it gently to about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick.
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Re-roll scraps as needed to make more biscuits.
Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread!
