Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a baking pan with a piece of parchment paper.
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together, mix well and set aside.
- Remove butter from the freezer and grate.
- Fold grated butter into flour mixture and stir until coarse crumbs have formed.
- Add milk and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
- Transfer biscuit dough to a well floured surface and use your hands to gently work the dough together.
- If dough appears to be sticky, add just enough flour to make it manageable.
- Use your hands to work and spread the dough to the thickness you want your biscuits to be (do not use a rolling pin)
- Cut out biscuits until all dough has been used.
- Place cut biscuits on a pan with ½ inch space between biscuits.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the tops start to turn a light golden brown - do not overcook as the biscuits will get hard when they cool.
- Brush biscuits with melted butter when removed from the oven.
- ENJOY!
Notes
I have found that 1 inch thick biscuits are the perfect baking thickness. I prefer 2 inch round biscuits, but use the size cutter that you love!
