Ingredients

• 2 C all purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 6 Tbl unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
• 1/2 C plus 1 Tbl cold milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450... Sift the flour, baking powder & salt into a large bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour in the milk and stir gently with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together.

On a floured surface, pat the dough into a 1/2" thick round. Using a 2 1/2" biscuit cutter, stamp out 8 biscuits. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and brush the tops with milk.

Bake for 10 mins or until golden. Serve hot.
