Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut in the butter in until the butter is about the size of peas.
- Gradually add the milk into the flour mixture until the dough holds together. It will be very slightly sticky. You may not need all of the milk.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently fold the dough over and knead about 10 times or until fairly smooth. If the dough is too sticky dust it with a little bit of flour. If you find the dough too dry, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Gently pat the dough to 1-inch thickness. Using a large biscuit cutter, cut biscuits, be sure not to twist the cutter. Place the biscuits on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Gently pat out any remaining dough, combining the scraps and repeat the cutting process.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- For the flakiest biscuits, ensure the butter is very cold and handle the dough as little as possible.
- Do not twist the cutter or this will seal the edges and the biscuits will not be as flaky.
- Brush the tops with cream or milk if desired, this will help them brown a little bit more.
- Using parchment paper is optional but it makes cleanup a breeze.
- Store leftover biscuits on the counter for up to 3 days in a covered container and in the fridge for up to a week.
