Everyday Biscuits
Andrew and I LOVE making these biscuits! They are so tasty and very easy to make on the weekends or during the week. We’ve enjoyed making them on a Saturday or Sunday and then having a biscuit for breakfast each day of the week before work, with bacon, eggs, and cheese. I originally found this recipe from Ashlyn over @ashlynsailsbury. I hope you enjoy them too!
4 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb cold butter (2 sticks)
2 cups milk (or buttermilk)
Preheat oven to 400*. Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in butter until most pieces are pea sized.
Gently mix in milk, careful not to overwork or your biscuits won’t be fluffy. Batter should be loose and messy - a little gooey and not too crumbly. If super crumbly, add a bit more milk. If too wet, add a bit more flour.
Lay the dough on a floured surface and use hands to flatten to 1-1.5 inches thick. Use a small glass to cut out circles, stack two circles on top of each other until all dough is used.
Top each biscuit with a bit of milk, to make them goldeny brown once done baking.
Bake at 400* for 15 minutes, until cooked through.
