Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk (cold)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky but avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 4–5 times until it comes together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a drinking glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and gently re-roll as needed to cut out more biscuits.
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. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
