🥣 Ingredients You’ll Need
🌿 Dry Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar (optional for a hint of sweetness)
🧈 Wet Ingredients
½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup cold milk (whole milk or buttermilk for extra tenderness)
💡 Hack: Using cold ingredients helps the biscuits rise and creates flaky layers — never skip this step!
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
🪄 Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
🪄 Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
Flour
Baking powder
Salt
Sugar (if using)
This ensures even distribution and light, fluffy texture.
🪄 Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Add the cold butter cubes to your flour mix.
Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs — a few pea-sized bits of butter are perfect.
💡 Hack: You can also grate frozen butter directly into the flour for perfect flakiness!
🪄 Step 4: Add the Milk
Pour in the cold milk and stir gently until the dough comes together. Don’t overmix — just combine until no dry spots remain.
🪄 Step 5: Shape the Dough
Lightly flour your surface and turn out the dough.
Pat or roll it to about ¾ inch thick.
Use a round biscuit cutter (or glass) to cut out biscuits. Gently re-roll scraps if needed.
🪄 Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Place biscuits on your prepared baking sheet.
For extra golden tops, brush them with a little milk or melted butter.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
💡 Hack: For super-soft biscuits, place them close together on the pan. For crisp edges, space them apart.
