How to Make Betty Crocker S Baking Powder Biscuits Light Flaky And Tender
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times.
- Pat or roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits.

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!
