Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Milk (cold)
- All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the cold milk. Stir gently with a fork or spatula just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it into a cohesive ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Using a round biscuit cutter (about 2-2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them. Re-roll the scraps and cut out more biscuits as needed.
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. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam!
