Made with pantry staples and zero fuss, they’re perfect for breakfast sandwiches, dunking in stew, or sneaking straight off the tray while still warm. Simple, classic, and dangerously good.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ cup butter cold and chopped
  • ¾ cup milk or buttermilk, cold

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Add cold butter pieces and cut into the dry ingredients using a fork or hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in milk and stir gently until a shaggy dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface. Fold it over 3–4 times gently to bring it together.
  • Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thick. Cut biscuits using a round cutter or glass, pressing straight down.
  • Place biscuits on baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes until tops are golden. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For variations, try cheddar-chive, vanilla-sweet shortcake, or Parmesan-garlic. Freeze unbaked biscuits and bake from frozen for easy future treats.
