Time 30m

Yield 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder (double-acting)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter

Steps:

  • Sift flour into mixing bowl with baking powder and salt.
  • Using fingers, two knives, or a heavy fork, blend butter and flour into very fine particles. (Don't beat any longer than you absolutely must!).
  • Add milk and stir just enough to ake particles cling together -- it will be a very soft dough.
  • (You may have to add up to another 1/4 cup of milk, for a total of 1 cup of milk in the biscuit dough.) Turn on to floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
  • Drop dough by large spoonfuls on to a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray.
  • Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Let the dough rest before baking. This will allow the gluten to relax and the biscuits to rise properly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Serve the biscuits warm. Freshly baked biscuits are always the best!
