Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons white granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chilled salted butter
- 2/3 cup milk
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven (Time: 2 minutes)
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients (Time: 3 minutes)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt until evenly combined.
3. Cut in the Butter (Time: 3-4 minutes)
Cut the chilled butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter throughout. This step creates the flakiness in the biscuits.
4. Add the Milk (Time: 1 minute)
Pour in the milk and stir gently with a spoon until the dough just begins to come together. Do not overmix—this will help keep the biscuits light and tender.
5. Shape the Dough (Time: 3-4 minutes)
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough just a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out the biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
6. Bake the Biscuits (Time: 10-12 minutes)
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t over-brown.
