Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 0.75 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
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 flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the cold, diced butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the butter.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork or spatula until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but not wet.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together, then pat or roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 6
Use a round biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out biscuits, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching for softer sides or spaced apart for crisper edges.
Step 7
Gather any scraps of dough, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 9
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with butter, jam, or honey.
