Sure, here’s a simple recipe for homemade biscuits:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. You want some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out rounds of dough. Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Gather any remaining dough scraps, gently pat them together, and cut out more rounds until all the dough is used.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your homemade biscuits warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping!
