Making biscuits from scratch isn’t difficult and it doesn’t take that much time. I don’t understand why people use the dough from the can. To me, it’s tasteless, totally bland with no texture and making them from scratch makes such a tasty product.
2 1/2 cups cold flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons cold butter
1 cup cold milk
Preheat oven to 425F
Mix dry ingredients together.
Add butter and mix gently with flour.
Combine with a pastry cutter until the butter is the size of small peas.
Mix in butter with a wooden spoon. Gently mix. Don’t over mix!
Form dough into a ball of dough.
Use your hand to gently flatten dough. Cut out the individual biscuits. Place closely in a pan (cast iron
is the best.)
Cook at 425F for 14 minutes.
It is so important to this recipe that everything is cold. Mixing bowl, pastry cutter, wooden spoon, flour, butter, milk. all need to be cold and I keep them in the refrigerator prior to combining them.
