Biscuits
Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in Butter
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.
Add Milk
Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass.
Bake
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
