Ingredients

• 8 cups all-purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter (cold)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well with a whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingertips, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the mixture; small, pea-sized butter pieces ensure flaky biscuits.

Step 3

Once the butter is incorporated, transfer the biscuit mix into an airtight container or a zip-top bag.

Step 4

Store the mix in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months for optimal freshness.

Step 5

To make biscuits, measure 2 cups of the biscuit mix into a bowl, add 3/4 cup cold milk, and stir until just combined. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and cut into rounds. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
