Made with just a handful of ingredients, these biscuits are soft, tender, and perfect for dipping in soups or enjoying with your favorite spreads. With a prep time of only a few minutes, you can easily whip up a batch whenever a biscuit craving strikes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  8. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
