These fluffy homemade biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a tender texture and rich flavor.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a smooth and even mixture.
Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Keep the butter cold for flakier biscuits.
Add the milk to the mixture and stir until just combined.
Do not overmix to avoid tough biscuits.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
Handle the dough gently to maintain its light texture.
Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into circles using a biscuit cutter.
Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
For a golden top, brush with milk before baking.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings or as a side dish.
Biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
