Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder (low sodium if available)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Milk (low-fat or whole)
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional, for a slight sweetness)
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, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and optional sugar. Whisk well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Slowly pour the milk into the mixture while stirring gently with a fork or wooden spoon. Mix just until the dough begins to come together—do not overmix to avoid tough biscuits.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead it 4-5 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough to about 3/4-inch thickness.
Step 6
Using a round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently gather the scraps of dough, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm with a dollop of unsalted butter or a light spread of fruit preserves.
