Butter biscuits

Butter biscuits are a delightful treat, perfect for tea time or as a standalone snack. This recipe yields soft, buttery biscuits with a light and airy texture. With simple ingredients and easy steps, these biscuits are sure to become a household favorite.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g
1 egg
50g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tbsp milk (1% fat)
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed or by hand with a sturdy spoon.
3. Add Vanilla and Egg:
Mix in the vanilla extract. Then, add the egg and continue to beat until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. This ensures the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Begin mixing on low speed (if using an electric mixer) and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can result in tough biscuits.
6. Add Milk:
Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
7. Shape Biscuits:
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop even portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.
9. Cool:
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your butter biscuits warm or at room temperature. These biscuits pair wonderfully with tea or coffee and can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips:

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. It helps in better mixing and consistency.

- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour, as it can make the biscuits tough.

- For an extra rich flavor, you can use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt separately.

- If the dough feels too dry, add a little bit more milk—just a teaspoon at a time.

- Chilling the dough for about 15-30 minutes before baking can help in achieving a better texture.

- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on your baking sheet to prevent the biscuits from sticking.

With minimal ingredients and straightforward instructions, these butter biscuits can quickly become a go-to recipe for various occasions. Whether you enjoy them plain or with a spread of jam, these biscuits are versatile and delicious. Happy baking!
