Classic Homemade Biscuits

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together.

6. 6

   Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your classic homemade biscuits!
