Fluffy Golden Two Biscuits (Printer-Friendly)
Quick golden biscuits using self-rising flour and milk for tender, fluffy layers and a golden crust.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
2 cups self-rising flour
02 -
3/4 cup cold whole milk
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set oven to 450°F and position rack in center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave ungreased for crispier bottoms.
02 -
Place self-rising flour in a large bowl and create a well in the center. Gradually pour cold milk into the well, stirring gently with a fork until a slightly sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
03 -
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat to 1/2-inch thickness using your palms. Use a sharp 2-inch biscuit cutter, pressing straight down without twisting to cut rounds.
04 -
Place cut biscuits on the baking sheet either touching for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges. Optionally, brush tops lightly with milk for extra browning.
05 -
Bake at 450°F for 10 to 12 minutes until tops are golden brown, edges are slightly firm, and bottoms are golden without burning.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Using cold milk creates steam in the oven for higher, fluffier biscuits.
02 -
Handle dough minimally to avoid developing gluten that causes toughness.
03 -
Press cutter straight down without twisting to ensure optimal rise.
04 -
Chilling cut biscuits for 20 minutes before baking improves rise and texture.
