Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 0.5 teaspoons Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the finely chopped fresh rosemary until evenly distributed.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix—it’s okay if the dough looks slightly shaggy.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold it over itself in thirds, then pat it out again. Repeat this process two more times to create flaky layers.

Step 7

Using a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits from the dough. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise properly. Gather any scraps, re-pat the dough, and cut out more biscuits as needed.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to encourage browning, and optionally, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on each biscuit.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.
