Ingredients

• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (cold)
• 10 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 grams Salt
• 120 milliliters Milk (cold)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized chunks of butter.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold milk into the mixture while gently stirring with a fork. Stop mixing as soon as the dough comes together—avoid overworking it to keep the pastry light and flaky.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 2.5 cm (1-inch) thick rectangle. If desired, fold the dough in half and pat it out again to create additional flakiness.

Step 6

Use a round biscuit cutter or a knife to cut the dough into 6 even pieces. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 7

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 8

Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
