I know there are plenty of biscuit recipes out there, but I swear by my Southern Style Biscuits version! If you’re an authority on biscuits, I’m pretty sure you’ll agree with me that my homemade version is as authentic as they come.
These biscuits have a firm, golden brown crust and a lovely, soft interior, perfect for mopping up a gravy or sauce. The moment I take them hot from the oven, I give them a good brush with melted butter, to make them even more heavenly!
To make the Southern Style Biscuits, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
Remove the butter from the refrigerator. Use a pastry cutter or grater to cut or shred the butter into the flour, and continue cutting it in until the mixture starts to look like rough crumbs.
Pour in the milk and use a wooden spoon to gradually stir in and combine into a dough.
Dust your work surface with flour and tip the biscuit dough onto it. Flour your hands and start to bring the dough together. Start to knead the dough, folding it in half and then pushing down to bring the layers together, before rotating by 90 degrees and repeating the process. Repeat 5-6 times.
Using your hands, flatten the dough until it is about an inch thick. Dust a 2 ¾ inch round biscuit cutter with flour and start to cut biscuits from the dough. Place each biscuit on the baking tray, leaving a half inch gap between them. Cut as many biscuits as you can, before bringing the remnants of the dough together, flattening and cutting a couple more. You should have at least 6.
Bake the biscuits for 12 minutes, until they start to turn golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
