Description

Learn how to make delicious homemade flaky biscuits with this easy recipe. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a side dish for any meal.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the cold cubed butter and using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly pour in the milk and stir until the dough comes together.
  3. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
  5. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure your butter is cold for the flakiest biscuits.
  • Handle the dough gently to ensure the biscuits stay light and flaky.
