Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute up to half with whole-wheat flour for a denser biscuit.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Ensure it is fresh for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Regular table salt or fine sea salt can be used.

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk 2% milk is standard, can use whole or dairy-free alternatives.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Can use salted butter; reduce added salt slightly.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.
  • Melt the butter in a baking dish, then pour the biscuit dough over the melted butter.

Baking

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow biscuits to sit for 5 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes

Don't overmix the dough. Use a glass or metal baking dish for best results. Baked biscuits keep well covered at room temperature for 1-2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for optimal texture.
