Classic Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients:

• All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups
• Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon
• Sugar: 1 tablespoon
• Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
• Cold Butter: 6 tablespoons, cut into small pieces
• Milk: 3/4 cup (approx.)

Biscuit Ingredients

Equipment:

• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Pastry cutter or fork
• Baking sheet
• Oven
• Rolling pin (optional)
• Biscuit cutter or glass

Preparation Steps:

Preparing the Dough

1. Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Butter: Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Milk: Gradually add milk to the mixture and stir until the dough comes together. You might need slightly more or less than 3/4 cup, depending on the humidity and flour type.

Shaping the Biscuits

1. Kneading: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it’s smooth.
2. Rolling Out: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness. For taller biscuits, roll less.
3. Cutting Out Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting for the best rise.
4. Leftover Dough: Re-roll any leftover dough and repeat the cutting process.
