How to Make Betty Crocker's Baking Powder Biscuits Light Flaky And Tender

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times.
  6. Pat or roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits.

  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping!
