Our Perfect Homemade Biscuits

These homemade biscuits are fluffy and buttery, making them the perfect addition to any meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch in no time. Let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need to get started.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your biscuits will rise beautifully and get a golden brown color.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. It’s essential to combine these dry ingredients well to create a fluffy texture.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step adds richness and flakiness to the biscuits.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Mix gently with a spoon or spatula, just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix it!
On a lightly floured surface, turn the dough out and knead gently just a few times until smooth. Pat the dough into a thickness of about 1 inch.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out the biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to place them close together for soft sides.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. The heavenly aroma will fill your kitchen!
Remove biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or honey!

These homemade biscuits are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a brunch, holiday dinner, or just indulging in a casual breakfast at home. Get creative—try adding cheese, herbs, or even a hint of garlic to elevate the flavor even more. Happy baking!
