Quick Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F.In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients, and set them aside.

Step 3

Take the stick of butter from the freezer and thinly slice it with a knife, allowing the butter to crumble into small bits. Add these butter bits to the dry mixture and gently toss them together.

Step 5

Pour the milk into the center of the dry mixture and combine it using a wooden spoon.

Step 7

Transfer the dough onto a work surface and begin kneading it by hand. The mixture should still be somewhat dry and crumbly at this stage, but the warmth of your hands and gentle pressure will bring it together.

Step 9

If necessary, add one tablespoon of milk at a time if you encounter difficulty in getting the dough to combine. Be cautious not to over-knead it.

Step 11

Once the dough is together, press it out to a thickness of about half an inch. Use a biscuit cutter to create biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Re-knead the dough as needed to make additional biscuits.

Step 13

Bake the biscuits at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until the sides are lightly browned, and the tops have a golden hue. They should also puff up and nearly double in size.

Step 15

Serve the biscuits immediately for a perfect, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth experience. They are also delightful when enjoyed cold or reheated. For the best flavor, consume them within the first 24 hours.
