Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes using an electric hand mixer on medium speed, or a bit longer if done by hand.
Add the 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of milk to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the 1.50 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Make sure the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until everything is well combined and a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough biscuits.
Using a tablespoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form biscuit shapes.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Butter Biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
- Use good quality maple syrup for a more authentic flavor.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
- Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to help the biscuits hold their shape.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Baking butter biscuits is a wonderful way to indulge in a sweet, buttery treat that is both simple and quick to prepare. With a few basic ingredients and some handy tips, these biscuits will undoubtedly become a household favorite. Enjoy your delicious homemade biscuits!
