Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 3/4 cup milk
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Grate in cold butter and kneed until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Pour milk into flour mixture while stirring with a fork. Mix in milk until dough is soft, moist and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Step 4
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and toss with flour until no longer sticky. Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick sheet and cut with a floured biscuit or cookie cutter. Press together unused dough and repeat rolling and cutting procedure.
Step 5
Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheets and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
When using a cookie cutter, do not turn the cutter as it will prevent the biscuit from raising.
