Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easier removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together 2/3 cup (150g) of butter, 2/3 cup (130g) of sugar, and 1 cup (230g) of brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the 2 eggs (100g) one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1 tsp (5g) of baking powder until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a tougher texture.
- Finally, add 2 tbsp (30g) of milk to the batter and mix until the milk is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges will be golden brown and starting to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into squares or rectangles as desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy for a better texture.
- Beat the eggs in one at a time for a more consistent dough.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together to eliminate lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture to avoid overmixing.
- Use parchment paper to line your baking pan for easy removal and cleanup.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bars – it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting for clean, even slices.
These basic biscuit bars are best enjoyed warm with a glass of milk or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
