Ingredients

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 and 1/2 cups milk

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or a zip-top bag. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
  4. To make biscuits, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 and 1/2 cups of the biscuit mix and the milk. Stir until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
  7. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them onto a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
