Baking Powder Biscuits for Two
This small batch recipe will make 6 biscuits.
Servings: 6 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour plus a little more for dusting
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small bits (you could grate the butter if you prefer)
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Prepare a baking sheet with a small amount or oil or baking spray.
- Measure the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Measure out the milk and set aside.
- Add the butter and use your fingers to pinch it into the flour.
- Add the milk and mix well. The dough will be very wet.
- Dust a flat surface with a small amount of flour and turn the dough out onto it.
- Dust a little more flour on the top of the dough and begin to shape into a rectangle about ¾" tall.
- Cut the dough or use a biscuit cutter to the desired number of biscuits. I usually make six, square biscuits so I don't have leftover dough.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until the tops begin to turn brown.
- If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter after removing from the oven.
