Fluffy Golden Two Biscuits (Printer-Friendly)
Golden, fluffy biscuits made with just flour and milk, baked quickly to tender perfection without fuss.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Basic Ingredients
01 -
2 cups self-rising flour
02 -
3/4 cup whole milk, cold
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Set oven to 450°F and place a rack in the center position. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave ungreased for crisper bottoms.
02 -
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 forms. Avoid overmixing.
03 -
Turn dough onto a floured surface. Dust hands with flour to prevent sticking, then gently pat dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a sharp 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut rounds, pressing straight down without twisting.
04 -
Place biscuits on the baking sheet touching for soft sides or spaced for crispier edges. For extra golden tops, brush lightly with additional milk.
05 -
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 450°F until tops are evenly golden and sides feel slightly firm. Remove when bottoms are golden but not burnt.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Use cold milk to create steam in the oven, enhancing biscuit rise and fluffiness.
02 -
Avoid overmixing to prevent tough biscuits by gently mixing until just combined.
03 -
Do not twist the biscuit cutter to maintain edges that allow optimal rising.
04 -
Chilling shaped biscuits for 20 minutes before baking can produce a higher rise and fluffier texture.
