Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is only 10 minutes. It's quick and easy to make, perfect for those who are short on time.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is 12-15 minutes. The biscuits will be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until the dough comes together.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
  6. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick and use a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits.
  7. Place the biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick spray.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

It's important to use cold butter in this recipe to achieve a flaky texture. If your butter is too warm, it will melt into the dough and create a dense biscuit. If you don't have a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter, you can use a glass with a sharp edge to cut the biscuits.

Yes, you can use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond milk or soy milk. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture may be slightly different.

Can I freeze the biscuits?

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your baking powder is fresh. If it's expired, your biscuits won't rise properly.
  • Don't overwork the dough. This can cause the biscuits to become tough and dense.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking for a golden brown crust.
  • For a sweeter biscuit, add a tablespoon of sugar to the dry ingredients.
