Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 0.75 cups Cold whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for brushing)
• 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk. Gently mix the dough with a fork or spatula until it just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Fold the rectangle into thirds, like folding a letter, and gently pat it out again. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create flakey layers in the biscuits.

Step 7

Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid twisting the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise properly.

Step 8

Gather the remaining dough, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream for a golden finish. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt for added texture.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm.
