Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.75 cup milk (whole or 2%)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°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 well combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Small pea-sized chunks of butter are fine.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together, then pat it out into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle or circle.

Step 6

Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (dusted with flour) to cut out biscuits. Gather any scraps of dough, gently re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart for crispier sides or touching for softer sides.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam, if desired.
