Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup cold whole milk
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in milk just until dough comes together. Turn onto a floured surface, knead gently 2-3 times, then pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into biscuits with a 2.5-inch cutter.
Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
