These fluffy and delicious homemade biscuits are a perfect complement to any meal or a delightful snack on their own. Made with simple pantry staples, they feature a tender crumb and golden crust, achieved by using cold butter and minimal mixing to ensure their light texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure an even distribution of leavening and seasoning throughout the dough.
  3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial to creating a flaky texture.
  4. Add Milk: Gradually stir in the whole milk, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently about 5-6 times, just enough to bring it together without overworking.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Roll the dough to about ¾ inch thickness and cut into shapes using a biscuit cutter or a round glass. Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight space between them.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to ensure flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted butter right after baking.
  • Biscuits are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat biscuits in a warm oven for a few minutes to refresh texture.
