Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 2: Incorporate the Butter
Grate the cold butter directly into the flour mixture. Using a fork, gently stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized butter pieces. Keeping the butter cold ensures tender, flaky biscuits.
Step 3: Add the Milk
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring gently after each addition. Do not pour all the milk in at once—add just enough so the dough comes together but remains slightly sticky. If the dough looks too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 4: Form the Biscuits
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop even mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 5: Bake the Biscuits
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown and the edges are slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and serve warm. For extra flavor, brush with melted butter right after baking.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. You can also freeze unbaked biscuits on a tray, then transfer them to a zip-top bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
How do I store and reheat leftover biscuits?
Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. To reheat, warm them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
