Biscuits for every meal please.
This cold weather has me wanting all the comfort food and who am I to say no? And biscuits are one of my go to bakes when I want my studio to smell delicious and my tummy to boogie about.
These are honestly cake to make! And the odds are you have everything you need in the your kitchen right this moment!
What you’ll need:
2 cup of flour
a tablespoon of baking powder (ish, you know i’m not always precise on my measurements)
a tablespoon of sugar (ish, see above comment)
a teaspoon of salt (ish haha)
6 tablespoons of cold butter
3/4 cup of milk (I usually go for a 2% milk, but feel free to try whatever kind you fancy! Perhaps I should experiment with oat milk one of these days)
a big ol’ bowl
a baking sheet with parchment paper to bake your biscuits on
Okeydok, let’s mix our dry ingredients! Add your flour, baking soda, sugar and salt to a bowl and give it a stir. Once everything is mixed together well, get your cold butter out of the fridge and cut it into dime sized chunks and toss it into the bowl. Now here’s the trick, you want to work everything together by flattening the chunk of butter into the flour with your fingers as opposed to crumbling. That’s going to allow those biscuits to keep those flaky layers! But don’t over mix it! Just work it enough for the flour mixture and butter to be somewhat incorporated together.
Now’s a good time to get your oven turned on to 425 degrees F!
Now add your milk to the mix and get those hands in there to help everything come together nicely. You want to fold the flour/butter mixture and milk together until it forms a ball at the bottom of your bowl. This is a pretty sticky dough so don’t worry if it isn’t perfect!
Once you’ve gotten all your ingredients together, throw some flour on a work surface (I use a floured cutting board) and carefully pat the dough into a rectangle shape, about an inch or so thick. You want to make sure not to handle the dough too much, you want those buttery chunks to hang out! Cut your dough into eight pieces (or however big you want them!) place them on your sheet pan with the parchment paper and get them in the oven for about 12 minutes or until the tops are golden.
Take them out, let them cool for a wee bit and enjoy! I usually eat one right out the oven because, well, WARM BISCUITS.
Love you all, be well and don’t forget to nourish that sweet body of yours<3
