Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/3 tablespoons baking powder ((1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon))
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter ((keep very cold))
  • 3/4 cup whole milk

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
  • Cut the butter in using a pastry blender or your fingers until only pea-size pieces remain.
  • Slowly pour in the milk and mix until barely combined.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead just 5-6 times to form one mass of dough.
  • Press out 1/2-inch high and cut with a 2 3/4-inch biscuit cutter (or any size you prefer).
  • Place the biscuits on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 1/2-inch apart. This helps to ensure more even baking. Brush with egg wash, if desired.
  • Bake 12-14 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown. You can definitely see the difference in the biscuits that were re-formed!
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter, if desired.
  • Serve warm.
