Easy, Flaky, Buttery Biscuits
- Number of Servings: 16
Ingredients
3 cups Flour4-½ teaspoons Baking Powder2 Tablespoons Sugar¾ teaspoons Cream Of Tartar½ teaspoons Salt¾ cups Butter, Cold1 whole Egg, Slightly Beaten1 cup Milk
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients together.
Cut in cold butter, until it is pea-sized.
Mix egg and milk, pour into the dry mix.
Stir together with a fork.
Combine all the dry mix with the wet mixture until it forms a soft ball.
Turn out onto a floured counter.
Pat down until 3/4″ thick (rolling will keep it from being flaky).
Using a biscuit cutter (or whatever you have handy), cut biscuits out and place on an ungreased pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and beautiful.
note: I have always laid my dough out into a rectangle and cut out square biscuits. It just seems like effective use of time and dough.
