Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and is soft but not sticky.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the dough balls with coarse sugar for added texture and sparkle.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as the biscuits should remain soft.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the sugar biscuits with your favorite beverage, and enjoy!
