Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter or shortening
- 3/4 cup cold milk
- Optional: melted butter for brushing
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set the oven to 450°F (230°C). Put parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well.
Cut in Butter
- Add cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or two knives. Mix until it looks like crumbs.
Add Milk
- Pour cold milk into the bowl. Stir gently until dough forms. Do not overmix.
Knead the Dough Lightly
- Put dough on a floured surface. Fold it a few times gently to make layers.
Roll the Dough
- Roll dough to 1-inch thick. Roll lightly to keep biscuits soft.
Cut the Biscuits
- Use a round cutter to cut biscuits. Press straight down. Do not twist the cutter.
Place on Baking Sheet
- Put biscuits close together on parchment paper. Close biscuits stay soft on sides.
Bake Biscuits
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden brown on top.
Brush with Butter
- Take out from oven. Brush melted butter on top for flavor.
Cool and Serve
- Put biscuits on a cooling rack. Serve warm with jam or honey.
Notes
- Use cold butter for soft, flaky biscuits.
- Fold dough 2–3 times to make layers.
- Add a little garlic powder for a savory taste.
- Use buttermilk instead of milk for tangy flavor.
- Freeze unbaked biscuits up to 1 month and bake when needed.
