Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot enough to bake the biscuits.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 4

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 5

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Shaping and Baking

  1. 6

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits.

  2. 7

    Bake the Biscuits

    Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or your favorite jam.
