Classic Homemade Biscuits

Ingredients: • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon baking powder • 1 teaspoon sugar • 1 teaspoon salt • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces • ¾ cup whole milk (or buttermilk for a tangier taste) Instructions: 1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). 2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. 3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 4. Add Milk: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in ¾ cup of milk. Stir gently with a fork just until the dough comes together. It should be a bit sticky. 5. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it just a few times to bring it together. 6. Roll and Cut: Roll the dough out to about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits. Reform the scraps and continue cutting until all the dough is used. 7. Bake: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. 8. Serve: Enjoy your biscuits warm! They are perfect with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite gravy. [emoji]: Feel free to adjust the sugar amount or add herbs for a different flavor.
