Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the milk while gently stirring with a fork. Mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 3–4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle.
Step 6
Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits as needed.
Step 7
Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re close together but not touching. This helps them rise better.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter if desired. Serve warm with honey, jam, or gravy.
