How to Make Aunt Emy S Baking Powder Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup milk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 2-3 times.
- Pat or roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Fold the dough in half, then cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a sharp knife. (Alternatively, use a glass to cut out circles)
- Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
