Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour ((500g))
- 2 Tablespoons baking powder
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter (very cold (unsalted European butter is ideal, but not required))
- 1.5 cups whole milk ((354ml) – buttermilk or 2% milk will also work)
Instructions
- Chill butter in the freezer for 10-20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and mix well.
- Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or shred with a box grater. Combine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add milk and stir until combined (don’t over-work the dough).
- Transfer dough to a floured surface, fold in half 5-6 times, taking care not to overwork the dough.
- Flatten dough to 1″ thick. Cut biscuits with a 2 ¾” cutter and place on baking sheet.
- Bake on 425F for 12 minutes or until tops are lightly golden brown.
- Brush with melted salted butter (optional). Serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use very cold butter and don't overwork the dough.
