with breakfast, lunch, or dinner. These biscuits are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed with butter,

jam, or gravy. The following recipe will guide you through creating perfectly fluffy biscuits that will be

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

3/4 cup milk (preferably whole milk)

2 tablespoons sugar (optional for slightly sweet biscuits)

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if

using) until well combined.

Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to

cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Milk: Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together.

The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to

bring it together, but do not overwork the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.

Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass

to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the biscuits touch slightly

for soft edges.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few

minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings or accompaniments.

These fluffy biscuits are a simple yet delicious addition to any meal. With a tender crumb and a

buttery flavor, they are sure to become a family favorite. Whether you’re serving them at breakfast

with eggs and bacon or at dinner with a hearty stew, these biscuits are always a hit. Enjoy the comfort

and warmth of homemade biscuits with this easy and reliable recipe.
