Ingredients
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ cup (115 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup (180 ml) whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and vanilla just until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Cut into rounds or squares and place them on the prepared baking tray.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
Brush with melted butter immediately after baking and serve warm.
These biscuits are wonderfully light, fluffy, and irresistibly tender. Enjoy them plain or with butter, jam, honey, or fresh fruit.
