Ingredients

• 8 cups All-purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the mixture; you want small pieces of butter to remain for flaky biscuits.

Step 4

Transfer the master mix into an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag, and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Step 5

To make biscuits, measure out 2 cups of the master mix into a bowl. Gradually add 2/3 cup of cold milk, stirring gently with a fork, until the dough just comes together.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead it gently 2-3 times, and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut biscuits using a round cutter and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
