Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 6-8 times, just until it comes together.
Pat or roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or a similarly sized round cutter, press straight down to cut out biscuits. Gather and re-roll the scraps as needed to cut out more biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with butter, jam, or honey for the perfect start to your day!
