Fluffy Golden Two Biscuits (Printer-Friendly)
Golden, tender biscuits made from two simple ingredients for quick, fluffy results.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
2 cups self-rising flour
02 -
3/4 cup cold whole milk
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 450°F and position the rack in the center to ensure even heat distribution.
02 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave it ungreased for crisper biscuit bottoms.
03 -
Place self-rising flour in a large bowl and create a well in the center. Gradually pour in cold milk while gently stirring with a fork from the center outward until a slightly sticky dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to prevent toughness.
04 -
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat to 1/2-inch thickness using your palms. Using a sharp 2-inch biscuit cutter, press straight down without twisting to cut rounds.
05 -
Place the cut biscuits either touching for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges. Optionally, brush tops lightly with additional milk to enhance browning.
06 -
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 450°F, beginning checks at 10 minutes. Biscuits are done when tops are golden brown with slightly firm sides and golden bottoms.
07 -
Remove from oven and allow biscuits to cool briefly before serving warm.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Using cold milk aids in creating steam during baking, contributing to a fluffy rise.
02 -
Avoid overmixing dough to prevent development of gluten which leads to tougher biscuits.
03 -
Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to maintain proper rising.
