Fluffy Biscuits
Ingredients:
For the Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
¾ cup cold buttermilk (or regular milk if unavailable)
For the Topping:
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Biscuits:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Cut in the Butter:
Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the Buttermilk:
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a spoon until just combined (be careful not to overmix). The dough will be sticky.
5. Shape the Biscuits:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Using a round cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press the remaining dough together and cut out more biscuits until all dough is used.
6. Bake the Biscuits:
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
7. Serve:
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter. For a sweet touch, sprinkle with a bit of sugar if desired.
These Fluffy Biscuits are light, buttery, and perfect for breakfast or as a side for your favorite dishes! Enjoy them with jam, honey, or your favorite topping.
