Chilling Time2 hr
Cooking Time15 min
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Make sure that both the butter and milk are cold.
-
In a food processor, pulse the flour, baking powder and salt until mixed.
-
Cut butter into 1/2 inch chunks. Add to flour and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with particles the size of peas and lentils, up to 30 times.
-
Drizzle the milk evenly over the dry ingredients and pulse a few times, just until incorporated and the dough forms small clumps.
-
Turn dough onto a work surface and knead once or twice to gather it into a mass, do not overwork the dough. Gently pat the dough into a disk or rectangle, as needed.
-
Wrap dough tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove dough from refrigerator and on a lightly floured surface roll out the biscuit dough until 3/4 inch thick.
-
Using a 3" biscuit cutter, cut out 5 biscuits as close together as possible. Press the cutter straight down, don't twist it. If the cutter sticks to the dough, dip it in flour between cuts.
-
Gather the remaining scraps of dough, roll into a ball, pat or roll out and cut out again. Repeat with the last scraps.
- Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
