Title: Easy Biscuit
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 3/4 cup milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. You can also use a food processor for this step by pulsing the ingredients together.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
6. Using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass, cut out your biscuits. Press straight down when cutting; do not twist the cutter as this may prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
7. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Brush the tops with a bit of milk or melted butter for a golden finish.
8. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown.
9. Once baked, let the biscuits cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite toppings or alongside your favorite dishes.
These easy biscuits are a simple and versatile addition to any meal. Experiment with adding herbs, cheese, or even a touch of honey for a fun twist on this classic recipe.
