Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Rumford Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.75 cup Milk (or buttermilk)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Rumford Baking Powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the milk (or buttermilk), mixing gently with a fork or spatula until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Do not overwork the dough to ensure tender biscuits.
Step 6
Using a round biscuit cutter or a drinking glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, reshape the dough, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
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 allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings!
