Homemade Biscuits
Simple recipe for buttery, soft and fluffy homemade biscuits. Serve warm biscuits with butter and your favorite fruit jam. Homemade biscuits are the perfect breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 6 tbsp Very Cold Butter cut into small chunks
- ¾ cup Milk
Honey Butter:
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder and sugar.
- Cut in cold butter with pastry blender, fork or fingers until pea sized lumps form in flour.
- Pour in milk and stir until combined.
- Turn dough over onto lightly floured surface.
- Press into a rectangle about one inch thick. Fold dough into threes - like an envelope. Press dough back down into a one inch triangle. Repeat this step three times. Finish by pressing dough into a ¾ inch thick rectangle.
- Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut 12 biscuits or a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut about 8 biscuits.
- Place biscuits in fridge to chill while you prepare the honey butter and the oven heats.
- In a small bowl, add butter and honey. Place in the microwave for about 10 seconds to melt.
- Arrange biscuits in a lightly oiled 10" or 12" cast iron skillet (no need to preheat). Or arrange the biscuits very close together on a lined or oiled baking sheet (keeping them close together will help them rise tall). Baste tops of the biscuits with honey butter. Bake for about 14-16 minutes until tops are golden.
- Allow biscuits to cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy warm!
