Flaky Homemade Biscuits
These biscuits rise tall and come out flaky and tender every time. With a few simple swaps, they offer a delightful, buttery bite.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup very cold unsalted butter cubed
- 1 1/3 cups cold almond milk
- melted butter
Instructions
- Set the oven to 425°F and get a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Mix flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt in a roomy bowl. The smells mingle sweetly.
- Add the butter cubes and make them disappear into the flour with your fingers until they resemble sand.
- Gently fold in almond milk, stirring until the mixture just clings together. You'll get a crumbly dough.
- Form the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle, then fold like a book. Use a bench scraper to cut and stack, repeating folding to create layers.
- Roll dough to about 3/4 inch thickness and cut out biscuits. Freeze on a baking sheet for 20 minutes.
- Bake for 20 minutes until they’re golden and aromatic. Brush with melted butter as soon as they come out.
Notes
These are the kind of biscuits that impress with their golden tops and tender insides. Perfect with jam or fresh butter.
