4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup cold butter, cubed
1 1/3 cups 2% milk
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Then, grab your cold butter and cut it into cubes. Cut these butter bits into your flour mixture with a pastry blender (or work the butter in with your fingers) until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until the dough is just moistened—no need to overwork it. Editor’s Tip: I love to cut my butter into cubes first and stick them in the freezer while I prep the rest of the recipe. You want your butter to be as cold as possible to create flaky layers.
Next, sprinkle your clean work surface with a bit of flour (just so the dough doesn’t stick) and turn the dough out. Knead the biscuit dough gently eight to ten times. Then, press the dough with your hands until it’s 1/2-inch thick. Grab a 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter and cut out your biscuits. Editor’s Tip: If you don’t have a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter, use a glass or cup with a thin rim. Dip the edge into some flour and use that as a cutter. It works just as well.
Finally, place your biscuits about 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake the biscuits until they’re golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve them warm and enjoy!
