How To Make buttery biscuits

Step 1

Mix dry ingredients and add in butter chunks. Use a knife or pastry blender to create a crumbly mixture.

Step 2

Add in milk, a bit at a time until mixture rolls into dough. Preheat oven to 450 F.
Step 3

Roll onto a floured surface and roll out until 1/4 inch thick, or thicker if you please.
Step 4

Cut into squares or circles. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Step 5

Melt butter and brush on the tops. Can use milk as well.
Step 6

Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
