Biscuit Ingredients

Method

Biscuit Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Milk

    Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined, being careful not to 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 rectangle about 1-inch thick.

  6. 6

    Cut Biscuits

    Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits 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 tops are golden brown.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
