Title: Easy Homemade Biscuit From Scratch
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 3/4 cup milk
– 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be well distributed but still visible.
4. Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk (and honey if using). Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently with your hands about 3-4 times to bring it together.
6. Pat the dough into a circle or rectangle about 1-inch thick. Using a floured biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid twisting the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise evenly.
7. Gather the remaining dough, gently press it together, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
8. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
9. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
