Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons optional: turbinado sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add this liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 3-4 times to bring it together. Flatten the dough into a disk about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 6

Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, reshaping as needed to use it all.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle turbinado sugar on top of each biscuit for added sweetness and crunch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey, if desired.
