Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter cubed
  • 1 cup cold milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add in the cold butter and mix together with a fork until the flour forms little pea sized crumbles.
  • Slowly mix in the milk until a dough forms.
  • Knead 8-10 times and turn out onto a floured surface.
  • Roll the biscuit dough 1/4 inch thick and use the top of a glass (or cookie cutter) to cut out 2 inch rounds of dough.
  • Once you run out of cutting space, squish the biscuit dough back into a ball and roll out and cut again.
  • Bake on the greased cookie sheet for 12 minutes.
