Indulge in the buttery goodness of these freshly baked biscuits. Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, these treats are perfect for any occasion.

SERVES: 6-8 | Difficulty: Easy

PREP/CHILL TIME: 30 minutes COOK TIME: 12-15 minutes TOTAL TIME: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp unsalted butter
3/4 cups milk

Directions:

Heat oven to 450°F.
Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment.
Mix dry ingredients together and sift twice.
Work in butter with tips of fingers, a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture is crumbly; butter may still contain some bigger, pea-sized bits.
Add milk gradually, mixing to form a soft moistened dough.
Toss the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, pat down and roll lightly with a floured rolling pin to one-half inch thickness.
Cut with a biscuit cutter.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the fridge and bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown.
Remove biscuits from the oven and serve with butter.

Tips

Brush the top of the biscuits before baking with milk or melted butter to help with browning.
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar for a hint of sweetness.
For one to two days, keep leftovers covered and at room temperature.
