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, cubed)
- 0.75 cups milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring with a fork or spoon until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or a large tablespoon, scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 1-2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or any accompaniment of your choice.
