Homemade Biscuits
This easy biscuit recipe yields the BEST homemade biscuits! They're soft, flaky, and buttery. We love them freshly baked with butter and/or jam. Find more serving suggestions in the blog post above! I like to use grated frozen butter in this recipe. If you prefer, you can cube the butter and use a pastry cutter to cut it into the dry ingredients.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
baking powder1 tablespoon
3
On the large holes of a box grater, grate the frozen butter. Add to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Use your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
4
Pour in the milk and mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead with your hands to incorporate any remaining dry flour.
5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a ½-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds and pat or roll again until ½-inch thick. Rotate a quarter turn and repeat the folding and rolling process, then repeat two more times, rotating the dough a quarter turn each time. Dust your work surface with additional flour as needed if the dough starts to stick.
6
After the fourth time you fold the dough, pat or roll it into a ½-inch-thick rectangle again. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as necessary. Place the biscuits on the baking sheet.
7
Bake for 14 to ⏱️ 16 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Let cool for ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving.
