Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until thoroughly blended and well-distributed.
- Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Gradually pour in the cold milk, stirring gently with a fork or wooden spoon. Mix until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough to approximately 1-inch thickness.
- Using a small round cookie cutter (about
- 5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuit rounds. Press straight down without twisting to ensure even rising.
- Place the biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them close together but not touching. This helps them rise and stay moist.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are lightly crisp.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, brush the hot biscuits generously with melted butter. The butter will help create a soft, rich exterior.
- Allow biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Keep Your Butter Ice-Cold: The secret to flaky, tender biscuits is using cold butter. Cut it into small cubes and work quickly to maintain its temperature.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: Mix just until the ingredients come together. Overworking will develop gluten and make your biscuits tough.
- Use a Sharp Cookie Cutter: Press straight down without twisting to ensure even rising and beautiful, uniform biscuits.
- Brush with Melted Butter: The generous butter brush after baking creates a luxurious, soft exterior that makes these bites truly irresistible.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when they're at their most tender and flavorful.Pro Tip: For extra flavor, try adding herbs like chives or rosemary to the dough, or sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top after brushing with butter!
