Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour in the milk and gently stir with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle or circle.

Step 6

Using a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass dipped in flour), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, gently reform the dough, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and brush the tops with a little melted butter, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
