Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup butter
- ½ – 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. - Cut in the butter
Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter (or your hands) to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. - Add the milk
Make a well and pour in the milk, gently stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should be slightly sticky. - Shape the dough
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently pat it down, and fold it over itself a few times. This helps create those soft, flaky layers. - Cut the biscuits
Roll or pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. - Bake
Place biscuits on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Tips for Perfect Biscuits
- Use cold butter for the best flaky texture
- Don’t overwork the dough—less is more
- For extra richness, brush the tops with melted butter right after baking
