Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra flavor)
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing the tops)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the butter: Add the cold, cubed 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.
- Add the milk: Pour in the milk (or buttermilk) and stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out the biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and crusty on the outside.
- Serve: Serve the biscuits warm with butter or your favorite toppings.
These Crusty Dinner Biscuits are the perfect addition to any meal, bringing homemade warmth and flavor to your table!
