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)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
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 flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter cubes to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Gently stir with a spoon or fork just until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half and pat it out again. Repeat this folding process 2 more times to create layers for flakier biscuits.
Using a floured 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet with the edges barely touching. Gather any remaining scraps, reshape, and cut out more biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!
