- Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- If you want your biscuits to be “prettier” you can easily flatten the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 2″ thick (with your hands, not a rolling pin) and cut with a biscuit cutter. I rarely take the extra time to do this because they taste the same and it keeps my kitchen cleaner!
- For the lightest biscuits, keep the butter and milk as cold as possible/
- Don’t overwork the dough or use an electric mixer for this recipe, the faster you mix the dough and the colder the butter and milk stay, the better your result.
- If the dough is sticky when you are rolling it in your hands, add a little additional flour.
