Cooking Tools Required

Baking sheet, Cooling Rack, Cutting board, Measuring cups and spoons, Mixing bowls, Mixing spoon, Oven, Rolling Pin, Saucepan, Sharp Knives, Top Stove

Ingredients

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
6 ounce unsalted butter cut into 1/4-inch cubes and refrigerated
1 1/8 cup whole milk

Instructions

Biscuits

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; alternatively, grease the baking sheet with butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Toss butter into dry ingredients until coated with flour. Working quickly, using your fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut butter into flour until it resembles coarse meal. Alternatively, add flour mixture and butter to the bowl of a food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times to form pea-sized pieces; transfer to a large bowl.
Add milk and stir with a fork until the mixture just comes together into a slightly sticky, shaggy dough.
Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to mound balls of dough onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake biscuits until golden brown, about 20 minutes for large ones. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Reheating Instructions

Reheat to desired temperature on stove top or microwave.
