Prep Time:

The preparation time for this recipe is around 10-15 minutes.

Cook Time:

The cook time for this recipe is around 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/3 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup of water

Equipment:

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry cutter or fork

Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the cold and cubed unsalted butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the water into the mixture and stir until a dough forms.
  5. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  7. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits. You should be able to make around 8-10 biscuits.
  8. Place the biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake the biscuits for 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on the top.
  10. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes:

  • For best results, use cold and cubed unsalted butter. This will help create a flaky and tender texture for the biscuits.
  • Do not overwork the dough as this can result in dense and tough biscuits.
  • You can brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter or honey for added flavor.

Recipes FAQ:

What can I use instead of a biscuit cutter?

You can use a glass or a jar with a circular rim instead of a biscuit cutter.

Can I use salted butter?

While you can use salted butter, it's better to use unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.

Can I freeze the biscuits?

Yes, you can freeze the biscuits for up to 2-3 months. Make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing them in a freezer bag.

Recipe Tips:

  • Make sure your butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the dry ingredients.
  • If you don't have parchment paper, you can use a non-stick baking sheet instead.
  • Don't twist the biscuit cutter or glass when cutting out the biscuits. This can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
