These Butter Biscuits are incredibly soft, flaky, and bursting with buttery flavor. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side for dinner, they are quick to make and delightfully satisfying!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
  3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Pat it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
