Perfect Homemade Biscuits - Bestrecipe005

Ingredients 

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 3/4 cup COLD butter
• 1 egg
• 1 cup whole milk

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 
2. The secret to excellent biscuits is COLD BUTTER. Really
   cold. Many times the biscuit dough gets worked so much that the butter softens
   before the biscuits even go in the oven. Try cutting the butter into small
   pieces and stick back in the fridge pulling out only when ready to incorporate
   into the dough.
3. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Use a pastry cutter to cut cold butter into flour mixture.
   Don’t go too crazy here – you want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter
   throughout the dough.
5. Add in the milk and egg and mix just until the ingredients
   are combined. The dough will be sticky but don’t keep working it. You should be
   able to see the butter pieces in the dough.
6. Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface.
   Sprinkle some flour on to the top of dough so it won’t stick to your fingers
   and knead 10-15 times. If the dough is super sticky just sprinkle on some
   additional flour.
7. Pat the dough out to 3/4 – 1 inch thickness and cut with a
   biscuit cutter or glass. I ended up with nine this time but depending on who is
   snacking on biscuit dough, I can get up to 12 biscuits.
8. Place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet or
   parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden
   brown on top.
9. For extra yumminess, brush the tops of the biscuits with
   melted butter…
