1tablespoonbaking powder
1tablespoonsugar
6tablespoonsbuttercut into small cubes and cold
1cupwhole milkchilled
Method
Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
Mix dry ingredients together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or use fingers to work the butter into the flour. Mixture will look like bread crumbs. It is ok to have some larger pieces they will help the biscuits to rise.
Add the milk all at once and stir just enough to combine and absorb flour.
Turn out onto a floured board and pat into a rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds and roll to about ¾ of an inch thick.
Cut with a biscuit cutter pushing straight down or cut into squares with a bench knife.
Transfer biscuits onto a parchment lined baking pan. Brush the tops with milk and bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
Biscuits are best served warm.
To reheat place biscuits on a baking pan and cover with foil. Place in a 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes.
