Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups extra flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix evenly.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients in the food processor. Pulse until the butter is broken down into pea-sized pieces. Be careful not to over-process; small pieces of butter help create flaky layers.
Step 4
Pour the milk into the food processor and pulse just until the dough starts to come together. Do not overmix; the dough should look shaggy.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times to bring it together. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Step 6
Roll or pat the dough out to a 1-inch thickness. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down and avoid twisting the cutter, which can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
Step 7
Gather the scraps, gently press them together, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Step 8
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are close but not touching. This helps them rise evenly.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam.
