Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cups whole milk, cold
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add butter: Cut the cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
- Chill dough: Place the biscuit dough mixture in the freezer for 15 minutes to keep the butter cold, which helps create a flaky texture.
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Add milk and mix: Remove dough from freezer and pour in the cold whole milk. Stir gently just until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix to maintain fluffiness.
- Shape biscuits: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut into circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet, slightly spaced apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
- Finish and serve: Brush the warm biscuits with melted butter, then serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Keep all ingredients as cold as possible for flaky, tender biscuits.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough biscuits.
- For a richer flavor, brush with melted butter immediately after baking.
- Biscuits are best served warm but can be reheated in the oven to regain freshness.
- Try not to twist the cutter when cutting biscuits to ensure they rise evenly.
