Biscuit Recipe

Biscuit Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

3. 3

   Cut in the Butter

   Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Add Milk

   Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. If desired, add honey or sugar for a hint of sweetness. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

5. 5

   Shape the Dough

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

6. 6

   Cut Biscuits

   Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. 7

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
