Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by generously greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes. 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 until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 12 equal-sized pieces.
- Melt additional butter and pour it into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Arrange the biscuit pieces in the buttered dish, turning each piece to coat both sides with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving hot.
- For extra richness, brush the tops with additional melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.
Tips
- • Keep your butter and milk ice-cold for the flakiest texture possible • Don't overwork the dough – mix just until ingredients are combined • Use a sharp biscuit cutter or knife for clean, even cuts • Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking • For extra golden tops, brush with melted butter right before serving • These biscuits are best served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days • Experiment with adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for a gourmet twist
