Description
Fluffy and tender Southern biscuits, perfect for any meal or family gathering, bringing warmth and tradition to your table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup whole milk (or buttermilk for tang)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the milk (and honey, if using). Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently a few times, then pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds, re-rolling scraps as needed.
- Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Slather with butter or your favorite preserves!
