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 bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   Cut in Butter

   Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Add Wet Ingredients

   Make a well in the center and pour in the milk and honey (if using). Stir until just combined.

5. 5

   Knead the Dough

   Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times until it comes together.

6. 6

   Shape the Biscuits

   Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits.

7. 7

   Bake

   Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm, optionally with butter or honey.
