Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter

- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons salted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until butter is worked into pea-sized balls, but don’t overmix.
- Fold the milk into the batter just until combined being careful not to overmix, your dough should look sticky and thick.
- Using a large cookie scoop, drop biscuits 2 to 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before brushing on the melted salted butter.
Notes
- You can add ½ cup shredded cheese to the biscuit mixture.
- You can also add garlic powder to the butter that gets brushed on.
- Use these for sweet dessert-like shortcakes and brush honey butter or unsalted butter on top and sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon sugar.
- These will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
- My husband loves using these to make easy breakfast sandwiches.
