Ingredients for Best No Roll Baking Powder Biscuits

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup milk

How to Make Best No Roll Baking Powder Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 3/4 cup milk, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently form the dough into balls slightly larger than a golf ball.
  6. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each biscuit.
  7. Gently press each ball down with the palm of your hand to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
