Simple Buscuits
Health Highlights
These easy-to-make biscuits are soft, flaky, and perfect for breakfast or as a side. Serve them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping!

Ingredients


1 1/2 cup All-purpose white flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Butter, salted (cold and cut into small cubes))
1/4 cup Water (cold; adjust as needed)

Instructions


  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt.

  • Cut in the Butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (You want to maintain small pieces of butter.)

  • Add Water: Gradually add cold water, stirring gently with a spoon until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a small amount of extra water, 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should be slightly sticky but not wet.

  • Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Do not overwork the dough, as this will result in tough biscuits.

  • Shape the Biscuits: Roll or pat the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or round glass to cut the dough into circles.

  • Bake the Biscuits: Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on top.
