Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed Ensure it's chilled for flaky texture.
  • 3/4 cup milk Use whole or low-fat depending on preference.
  • 2 tablespoons honey Optional, for sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
  3. Drop in your chilled, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the milk, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overworking the dough.
  5. On a floured surface, turn out the dough and gently knead about 5-6 times. Roll to about 1-inch thickness and cut out circles with a biscuit cutter.
Baking
  1. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with butter.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are nicely golden.
  3. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
