Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Directions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and sour cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Knead and Roll: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness.
- Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. Serve warm.
Conclusion and Tips
These Tall and Fluffy Mile-High Biscuits are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. To ensure your biscuits are extra flaky, make sure your butter is very cold and handle the dough as little as possible. You can also try adding a sprinkle of cheese or herbs to the dough for a flavorful twist.
