🥘 Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cups whole milk

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix the dry ingredients.

3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the food processor. Pulse 8-10 times or until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.

4. Slowly pour in the milk while pulsing the food processor. Stop as soon as the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press it together into a 1-inch thick disk. Do not knead excessively.

6. Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a floured glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed to make additional biscuits.

7. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart for crisp edges or closer together for soft sides.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture!
