Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups milk (whole, 2%, or plant-based)
- 1 large egg (beaten)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch round or square baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the biscuit bread cool in the dish for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam!
