How to Make Quick Food Processor Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse several times to combine.
  3. Cut 1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening into small pieces. Add to the food processor.
  4. Pulse until the shortening is the size of small peas (about 8-10 pulses).
  5. With the food processor running, gradually add 3/4 cup cold milk until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
  8. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
