Who doesn't love the smell of freshly baked, homemade biscuits from the oven? If you've ever wondered how to make those delicious, classic biscuits from scratch, you've come to the right place.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- ¼ tsp Baking soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 6 tbsp (90 g) Butter unsalted, chilled, cubed
- 1 large Egg
- ½ cup (120 ml) Milk cold
Instructions
- Oven - Preheat the oven at 450°F / 230°C Gas Mark 8
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Then, add the chilled, cubed butter.2 cups All-purpose flour, 1 tbsp Baking powder, ¼ tsp Baking soda, ½ tsp Salt, 1 tbsp Sugar
- Fat - Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or a fork until it resembles a coarse breadcrumb consistency.6 tbsp Butter
- Liquid - Add the egg and combine, but do not overmix. Then, add the milk and mix well with a spoon or spatula. The mixture will still appear dry and crumbly, and that's ok. Bring the dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly floured surface.1 large Egg, ½ cup Milk
- Fold - Using a rolling pin, lightly roll the dough. Fold the dough into thirds, bringing the two sides over the center. Then, fold the top and bottom sides into the middle (see video). It is just like closing a box!! Repeat this once more or twice more to create more folds.
- Cut - Finally, roll the dough again to about a 1/2 to 3/4-inch thickness, and using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut about 6 to 8 biscuits.
- Finish - Place the biscuits on a parchment or silicone-lined baking tray. Brush the tops of each biscuit with milk.
- Bake for about 15 to 17 minutes until the top is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve with butter on the side.
