How to Prepare Easy Biscuits
🧊 Place a stick of butter in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or overnight until super cold. 🔥 Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). 🧑🍳 Line a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside. 🧂 Sift the flour into a big bowl, and then add the baking powder and salt and whisk. 🥣 In a separate bowl, add buttermilk (or make it by adding 1 cup milk to a bowl with 1 tablespoon of vinegar/lemon juice. Let it sit for a few minutes until it curdles). 🧈 Now, take your frozen butter and grate or chop it finely and add it to your flour. 🙌 Use your hands to blend it all together until you form a crumbly dough. 🥛 Next, add the buttermilk to the dough and mix/ knead until a soft dough for a minute or two. 🌀 Lightly flour the counter and roll out your dough with a rolling pin until 1-inch thick. 🥤 Now, use a glass or a cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. ⏲️ Place the biscuits onto your baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
