Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
At this stage, you can store the dry mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week for future use.
Step 4
For biscuits: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gradually add milk (about 1/2 cup) to the dry mix and stir until the dough comes together but is not overly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead gently, and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds. Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 5
For pancakes: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the dry mix, 1 cup of milk, and 1 egg until a smooth batter forms. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 6
Serve biscuits or pancakes warm with butter, jam, syrup, or any topping of your choice.
