"Several years ago I had mentioned to my husband that I wished I knew how to make homemade biscuits for The Rescue (My heroine has a difficult time making them.) The idea took hold, and it wasn’t long before we started making biscuits together. Here’s the recipe. Hope you enjoy!"
7tablespoonsunsalted butterchilled in freezer and sliced into thin slices
1pinchsugar
1teaspoonsalt
¾cupcold milk
Instructions
Place unsalted butter in freezer. Preheat oven to 410 degrees. Line baking sheet with non-stick parchment paper.
Whisk flour, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sliced butter into the flour mixture and blend together with a pastry cutter until mixture crumbles. Make a crater in the center of the flour mixture and add in ¾ cup of milk. Fold flour over milk until it becomes slightly sticky to the touch, but don’t stir or overwork the dough.
Add flour to work surface and then add the dough. Flatten with palm into a rectangle, folding the dough like a tri-fold brochure. Repeat this step 2-3 times. Palm dough on a floured surface about ¾ inch thick and cut out biscuits with cookie cutters.
Place on lined baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes until tops are golden brown.
