Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 4 tsp | Baking powder |
| 2 tsp | Granulated sugar |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 1/3 cup | Butter |
| 3/4 cup | Milk |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
-
Incorporate butter: Using a pastry blender, fork, or two knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add milk: Pour in the milk and stir until the dough comes together to form a soft ball. If needed, add a bit more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
-
Shape the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch. Alternatively, patting the dough with your hands works well too.
-
Cut into circles: Using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass, cut the dough into circles.
-
Arrange on baking sheet: Place the cut biscuits onto a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
-
Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they have risen and turned golden brown. (Note: Depending on your oven, it may take up to 15 minutes for the biscuits to bake to perfection.)
-
Serve: Once baked, transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Notes:
- This recipe typically yields 12 biscuits, but depending on the size of your biscuit cutter or glass, you may end up with slightly fewer. Adjust the size according to your preference.
- Get creative with variations by adding fresh or dried herbs to the dough. Basil and oregano, parsley and freshly ground black pepper, or thyme and garlic are excellent choices. You can also enhance the flavor by mixing in grated sharp or old cheddar cheese.
Indulge in the warm, buttery goodness of these homemade biscuits. Whether enjoyed fresh from the oven or paired with your favorite spreads, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with family and friends.
