Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • ¾ cup milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the cold butter and using a biscuit cutter, combine the butter and flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
  • Slowly add the milk, stirring with a fork.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to bring the everything together.
  • Roll out the dough about ¾ inch thick.
  • Using a biscuit cutter or drinking glass, cut out about 12 biscuits.
  • If you have scraps, re-roll them and cut out more biscuits. 
  • Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool slightly and serve warm with butter and jam.

Notes

All ovens are different, so please check the biscuits after 8 minutes of baking to make sure they're not getting too brown.
