Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cubed
  • ¾ cup whole milk or buttermilk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted (for the butter swim)

Method
 

Make the Biscuit Dough:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—the dough should be slightly sticky.
Shape and Bake:
  1. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  2. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the biscuits turn golden brown on top.
Butter Swim:
  1. While the biscuits bake, warm the ½ cup of melted butter.
  2. As soon as you remove the biscuits from the oven, place them in a baking dish or bowl and pour the warm melted butter all over them.
  3. Let the biscuits soak in the butter for a few minutes before serving.
