Easy Biscuits From Scratch

 


You Will Need: 

  • 1 cup all purpose flour sifted (I use unbleached)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 3 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk (you may not need all of the milk it depends on the humidity in the air, you'll add it into dry ingredients a little at a time)  

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 

In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients together, grate the butter in and mix together with back of a spoon, then use fingers to mix it in better. Add milk a little at a time by the tablespoon. You want a smooth dough that you can roll out. If you find that the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Once the dough can be made into a soft ball that's not sticky, roll it out about 1/2 inch thick onto a floured surface, (I used a chopping block to roll mine out). Cut with a biscuit cutter or glass turned upside down. Place biscuits on a baking sheet 2 inches apart.  Bake for 10-12 minutes.
