The Easiest Biscuit Recipe: Perfect Flakiness in Minutes!

The Easiest Biscuit Recipe: Perfect Flakiness in Minutes!

Biscuits are a beloved staple in many households, but making them from scratch can be intimidating for some. Fear not, because we are here to share the easiest biscuit recipe you'll ever come across. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can have warm, flaky biscuits on your table in no time. 

Ingredients 

2 cups self-rising flour 

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed 

3/4 cup cold milk  

1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C).

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and sugar (if you're using it).  

3. Add the Butter

Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This is what will make your biscuits delightfully flaky!

4. Pour in the Milk

Pour in the cold milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. 

 5. Shape and Cut

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it down to a 1-inch thickness, then use a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out your biscuits. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet, making sure they touch for higher, softer biscuits.  

6. Bake

Pop those biscuits in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they're beautifully golden brown.  

7. Serve and Enjoy

Once they're out of the oven, let them cool for a minute or two, and then serve them up with your favorite toppings – butter, honey, gravy, or jam.

That's it! You've just made the easiest biscuits ever. With minimal effort and a short list of ingredients, you can treat yourself and your loved ones to warm, flaky biscuits that taste like they came from a fancy bakery. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side to your favourite dinner dish.

So go ahead, give this recipe a try and enjoy the delicious simplicity of homemade biscuits!
