Butter Biscuits

Delicious Butter Biscuits

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick); room temperature 
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups of flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/3 cups milk



Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Add flour and butter into the mixer and mix until butter is pea size.


Add the sugar, salt, baking powder and mix until combined.  Last, add milk to the flour mixture and mix until combined. If the dough is a little sticky, add an extra Tbsp of flour to the dough.

Next, generously flour the surface you will be rolling dough out on.



Roll out the dough until it is around a half inch thick and fold the dough over itself in half and roll out again.



Repeat until you have folded the dough back onto itself at least 6 times.  Even if it seems thin, it will rise.


After it has been rolled out multiple times, use a biscuit cutter or a cup about the size you want your biscuits to be. (I actually use a kids IKEA cup)




Put cut out biscuits into a baking dish, do not crowd them because they will grow while baking.




Bake in the 450 degree oven for 15 - 18 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve immediately. 

These are perfect for Biscuits and gravy or as a side dish.


ENJOY!!
