Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 0.75 cups milk
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt (for caramel)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour in the milk and gently stir until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times, then pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 6

Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-roll scraps if necessary.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits for 10–12 minutes, or until golden on top. Remove from oven and let cool slightly while you prepare the caramel sauce.

Step 8

To make the caramel, heat the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a heatproof spatula. Cook until the sugar completely melts and turns a deep amber color.

Step 9

Add the butter to the melted sugar and stir until fully combined. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up.

Step 10

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Continue to cook for 1–2 minutes until the caramel is smooth and thick.

Step 11

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Step 12

Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the freshly baked biscuits. Serve immediately and enjoy!
