Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it is at room temperature.
  • 3/4 cup milk
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Optional for extra flavor.
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese Optional for cheesier biscuits.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Slowly pour in the milk and mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; you want your dough to be soft and slightly sticky.
  5. If you’re opting for garlic powder or cheese, fold it in gently now.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick, then cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass.
Baking
  1. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  3. Remove from the oven, and let them cool slightly. Serve warm.

Notes

For a Halal-friendly version, ensure your butter or dairy used is certified Halal. Avoid over-kneading to prevent tough biscuits. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
