These two iconic baked goods are beloved for their delicate textures, buttery flavors, and the joy they bring with every bite. Whether you’re preparing for a cozy afternoon tea, a family gathering, or simply indulging in a sweet treat, these classic cookies are sure to satisfy your cravings.
Let’s explore how to make these melt-in-your-mouth biscuits and cookies, and why they are favorites in kitchens around the world.
Butter Biscuits: Simple, Savory, and Delicious
Butter biscuits are a timeless classic known for their rich, buttery flavor and crisp, flaky texture. They are incredibly easy to make, requiring only a few simple ingredients, yet they are a true delight to eat. These biscuits can be served with everything from afternoon tea to a hearty soup, or simply enjoyed on their own.
Ingredients for Butter Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- 1/3 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra richness)
Instructions for Butter Biscuits:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
- Slowly add the milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Use a round cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuit rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
These buttery, flaky biscuits are perfect on their own, but can also be paired with jam, honey, or cheese for an extra treat.
