Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Small pea-sized bits of butter are perfect—this helps create flaky layers.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a fork or spoon until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a thick rectangle about 1 inch high. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting the cutter to ensure they rise evenly.
Step 6
Gently gather any scraps, reshape the dough, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Step 7
Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet so they are touching slightly for soft sides, or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
