Ingredients
2
cups
all-purpose flour
1
Tablespoon
baking powder
1/2
teaspoon
salt
½
cup
butter
¾
cup
milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°
Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
With a pastry cutter, cut the butter in until it has a fine crumb texture.
Add in the milk with a fork to make a soft dough.
Knead 8 to 10 times only, and then roll out to a thickness 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick.
Cut with a cookie or biscuit cutter or a glass.
Place them on the cookie sheet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until they have risen and are starting to brown on top.
These are best if served warm with a bit of butter.
Notes
These are also great served with a bit of honey or jam.
