My Cooking Experience 👩🍳
With 4-5 years of experience in baking, I’ve perfected the art of making biscuits that are light, fluffy, and irresistibly buttery. These Breakfast Biscuits are a classic in my kitchen, and they never fail to impress!
Ingredients 🛒
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
Instructions 🍽️
1. Prepare the Dough 🥣
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the Milk 🥛
Gradually add the milk, stirring gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this will keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
3. Shape the Biscuits 🍪
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat it into a ½-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out circles. Place the biscuits on a lined baking sheet.
4. Bake to Perfection 🔥
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings!
Variations 🔄
- Cheesy Biscuits: Add ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese to the dough.
- Herb Butter Biscuits: Mix in 1 tsp dried herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- Sweet Biscuits: Sprinkle sugar on top before baking for a lightly sweetened version.
- Whole Wheat Option: Substitute half of the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
