Biscuit Recipe

 Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 3/4 cup milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently for about 1 minute, just until it becomes smooth.

6. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each biscuit.

7. Gather the remaining dough scraps, gently re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.

8. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.

9. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.

10. Serve the biscuits warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
