Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (for topping, optional)

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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the milk while gently stirring with a fork or spatula until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it just comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 6

Use a round biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps gently as needed to maximize the dough.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

If desired, whisk the egg with a tablespoon of milk or water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt for a finishing touch.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or as a savory side!
