Biscuits are one of the simplest things to bake and they're so scrumptious, especially when they're still warm from the oven. What I love about biscuits is how versatile they are. Whether you’re enjoying them for breakfast with some sweet jam and honey or smothering them with butter to enjoy them with your dinner, biscuits are the perfect addition to any meal.
Ingredients make 10-12 biscuits
1 cup 3.25% milk -room temperature
2 large eggs -room temperature
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup unsalted butter -room temperature
4 1/2 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Directions
- Whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla. Set aside.
- Put the butter in a large bowl.
- Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a sifter and sift on top of the butter.
- Cut the dry ingredients into the butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together using a spoon.
- Knead to incorporate the ingredients. Don't overwork the dough. The ingredients don’t have to be fully combined.
