Here’s a delightful Butter Biscuits recipe, perfect for any occasion. These biscuits are flaky, buttery, and incredibly easy to make. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a pat of butter, or served as a side for soups or stews, they’re sure to be a hit with family and friends.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for a tangier flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs (about pea-sized).
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 3-4 times, just until it holds together.
- Roll or pat the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter (or a round glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
Enjoy the warm, flaky goodness of these butter biscuits!
