Carrie's Kitchen: Serve up Strawberry Shortcake. Add some BBQ'ed pulled pork. Or serve them as a side with butter and honey. When you're talking homemade biscuits, the possibilities are endless. This recipe is so easy, my children make them all on their own!

Ingredients:
● 2 cups all-purpose flour
● 1 tablespoon baking powder
● 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or regular salt)
● 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
● 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
● 3⁄4 cup whole milk, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons, if needed
● Optional: butter, jam, honey for serving
Directions:
-
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
-
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is the texture of coarse meal with some pea-size pieces.
-
Using a fork, stir in the milk until just evenly moistened, adding up to 2 more tablespoons, if necessary, but stopping before the dough gets too wet.
-
Scoop the dough into 8 rough mounds (about 1/3-cup each) and place them on the prepared sheets. Bake the biscuits until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes: You can add herbs, grated cheese, chocolate chips, and more to enhance the flavor of these biscuits!
