How to Make Anna S Brilliant Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter or shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk all at once.
- Stir gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead gently 8-10 times until smooth but still slightly soft.
- Roll out the dough to your desired thickness (about 1/2 inch is recommended).
- Use a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter or cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps gently.
- Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
