Fluffy Southern Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
• 3/4 cup cold milk or buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Add the cold butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually pour in the cold milk and mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into squares or use a round biscuit cutter.
6. Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
7. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Tip: Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam. Perfect for breakfast or dinner!
