Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (chilled and cubed)
- 0.75 cup Cold whole milk
- 0 as desired Honey (optional, for serving)
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, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.
Step 3
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk. Gently stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times until smooth. Pat or roll the dough into a 1-inch thick round.
Step 6
Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut additional biscuits.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Spread with honey or butter, if desired, and enjoy warm.
