Biscuits
Making biscuits from scratch is easier than you'd think!
Yield: 2 large biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tbsp butter, diced and kept cold
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup milk
Recipe Instructions
- Dice the butter and place it in the freezer while you get the other ingredients ready. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- Add in the butter and use your fingers to work into the mixture. Add the milk and mix until just combined.
- Shape into 2 biscuits. One should be about 1/3 of the dough and the larger one should be about 2/3 of the dough. Wrap with plastic wrap or place in a food storage bag and refrigerate until ready to bake.*
- For sweet biscuits, sprinkle the top of each biscuit with a pinch of sugar (ideally sugar in the raw) before baking. For savory biscuits, leave dough as is.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the biscuit for 10-12 minutes.
