Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk (for a tangy twist)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  • Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  • Knead and Roll: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead it 3-4 times, then roll it to about 1-inch thickness.
  • Cut the Biscuits: Use a round biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed.
  • Bake: Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet so they’re slightly touching for softer sides. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Finish with Butter: Brush the hot biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
