These Butter Biscuits are soft, flaky, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up the perfect biscuits for breakfast, dinner, or anytime snacking!
🛒 Ingredients:
- 🍞 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 🥄 1 tbsp baking powder
- 🧂 1/2 tsp salt
- 🧈 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 🥛 3/4 cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk)
🔥 Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Oven
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
2️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Cut in the Butter
3️⃣ Add the chilled butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4: Add the Milk
4️⃣ Pour in the milk gradually, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Step 5: Roll and Cut
5️⃣ Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead it a few times and then pat it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
6️⃣ Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out rounds. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits.
Step 6: Bake
7️⃣ Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
8️⃣ Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 7: Brush with Butter
9️⃣ Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor.
