Method
Biscuit Preparation
- 1
Prepare Biscuit Dough
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Shape and Bake
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
