🧈 Homemade Butter Biscuits ✨

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

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

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

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

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

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.
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

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
