Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) whole milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Create a warm oven environment at 425°F (220°C) and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet to ensure optimal baking conditions.
- Transform cold butter into fine, delicate crumbs by meticulously working it into the flour using a pastry cutter or fingertips, creating a textured foundation.
- Introduce milk gradually, gently folding until the mixture harmonizes without aggressive mixing, preserving the biscuits’ tender structure.
- Transfer the delicate dough onto a lightly dusted work surface, tenderly kneading just enough to bring the ingredients together, then flatten to a uniform three-quarter-inch thickness.
- Utilize a circular cutter or glass rim to craft uniform biscuit shapes, carefully transferring each piece onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Allow the biscuits to transform in the heated oven, developing a golden, inviting exterior for 12-15 minutes until they achieve a sun-kissed complexion.
- Present these warm, comforting biscuits immediately, accompanied by luxurious butter, vibrant jam, or liquid golden honey for a delightful culinary experience.
Notes
- Use cold butter straight from the refrigerator to achieve flakier, more tender biscuits with better texture and layering.
- Handle the dough minimally to prevent tough biscuits, gently mixing ingredients just until they come together without overworking.
- For a healthier alternative, swap white flour with whole wheat or gluten-free flour while maintaining the same proportions and mixing technique.
- Brush the tops with melted butter or egg wash before baking to create a beautiful golden-brown crust and enhance the biscuits’ appearance and flavor.
