Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold to make it easier to blend into the flour mixture.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute 1 cup of full-cream milk instead of 1% fat milk.
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Don't overwork the dough; mix until just combined to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- Score the top of the dough in a cross pattern before baking to ensure even cooking.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
