Introduction
Whenever we visited my grandma, there was always a batch of warm butter biscuits waiting for us. She made them with love, using simple ingredients and her trusty iron skillet. These biscuits are buttery, flaky, and perfectly golden, just like hers. They’re the perfect addition to any meal, whether slathered with jam for breakfast or served alongside a hearty dinner.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour, packed (if using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt)
1 tablespoon baking powder (omit if using self-rising flour)
½ teaspoon salt (omit if using self-rising flour)
½ cup butter, salted, cut into small pieces (if using unsalted butter, add ¼ teaspoon extra salt)
1 cup milk (regular or buttermilk)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Incorporate the Butter:
Add the butter pieces to the dry ingredients. Using your hands or a pastry blender, mix until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture looks crumbly.
4. Add the Milk:
Pour in the milk and stir gently with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
