Provided by Tiffany

Categories     Breads

Time 25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups flour*
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
6 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2-3/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
  • Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or your hands, taking care not to melt the butter or create a paste. The mixture should resemble coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Add 1/2 cup of milk and combine until the flour is moistened. Knead the dough into a ball, pressing against the sides of the bowl to pick up any small pieces of dough. If additional milk is needed, add just 2 Tbsp at a time, kneading thoroughly after each addition. Note: The dough should not be wet enough to stick to your hands or the bowl. It should be dry enough to handle easily, and when you're done kneading, the bowl should be fairly clean.
  • Pull off a golf ball-sized portion and form into a ball. Press down slightly and place the biscuits on a large cookie sheet, 1″ apart.
  • Roll out the dough into a rectangle, approximately 1/2″ thick. Cut into equal pieces and place on a large cookie sheet, 1″ apart.
  • Bake for 8 minutes.
  • Rotate the pan 180 degrees and bake for another two minutes, if needed. The biscuits should be light golden brown on the bottom, and barely browning on top.

  • Work the butter into the flour mixture quickly: This will prevent the butter from melting and making the biscuits tough.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the biscuits rise and keep their shape.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking: This will give them a golden brown color and a crispy crust.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: This is when they are at their best.
