What Makes a Biscuit Soft and Fluffy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s all about cold butter, gentle handling, and just the right amount of layering. Cold ingredients keep the dough tender and create steam pockets as they bake, which puff the biscuits beautifully. Folding the dough adds flaky layers, and baking them close together helps them rise up, not out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00be cup cold whole milk or buttermilk<\/li>\n\n\n\n

2. Mix It Dry<\/strong> In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Cut in the Butter<\/strong> Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips. Stop when the mix looks like coarse crumbs with little bits of butter throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Add the Milk<\/strong> Pour in the cold milk and stir gently just until a dough forms. Don\u2019t overmix\u2014it\u2019s okay if it looks a little messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Fold for Flakiness<\/strong> On a floured surface, gently pat the dough into a rectangle. Fold it in half, then pat it out again. Repeat 3\u20134 times for gorgeous layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Cut and Bake<\/strong> Pat dough to about \u00be-inch thick and cut using a biscuit cutter (no twisting!). Place biscuits close together on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12\u201315 minutes or until golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
