Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 1 tbsp | Baking powder |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1/4 cup | Unsalted butter |
| 3/4 cup | Skim milk |
Instructions
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet (jelly roll pan) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Incorporate Butter: Cut the unsalted butter into the flour mixture using two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add Milk: Gently stir in the skim milk using a fork until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. With floured hands, gently press the dough into a 9″ x 9″ square, ensuring even thickness.
-
Cut Biscuits: Using a spatula or the dull side of a knife, score the dough into 12 biscuits without fully separating them.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, transfer the biscuits to a wire rack and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite accompaniments, such as homemade fruit jam or any topping of your choice.
Enjoy the rich, buttery flavor and tender texture of these Buttery Farm Biscuits that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a delightful snack any time of the day!
