Experience the magic of freshly baked Breakfast Butter Biscuits that are light, flaky, and buttery. These delightful biscuits will elevate your morning routine and bring smiles to your breakfast table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • Optional add-ins: shredded cheese, herbs, chopped cooked bacon, or sausage

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
  3. Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) of cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Slowly pour in 3/4 cup of milk (or your non-dairy alternative) into the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
  6. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  8. Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite breakfast spread!

Keywords: Always use cold butter and milk for flaky layers. Handle the dough as little as possible to avoid dense biscuits. Experiment with different herbs or spices for added flavor.
