Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour This forms the base of your biscuits.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder For that perfect fluffiness.
  • 1 tablespoon sugar To add a touch of sweetness.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Enhances the flavors.
Wet Ingredients and Others
  • ½ cup cold butter, cubed Creates that rich, flaky texture.
  • ¾ cup milk Keeps the biscuits moist.
  • 1 large egg Binds everything together.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a delightful aroma and taste.
  • Maple syrup for serving The perfect finishing touch.
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional) For a lovely presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix!
  6. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds or simply cut into squares.
Baking
  1. Place the biscuits on a prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
  2. Once baked, drizzle with warm maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Make sure your butter is cold to create flaky layers. Don't overwork the dough; mix until just combined to keep the biscuits tender. Keep an eye on your biscuits in the oven as they can quickly overbrown.
