Ingredients You'll Need
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 stick very cold unsalted butter, diced (freeze for 30 minutes before dicing)
1 cup cold whole milk or well-shaken buttermilk, plus more for brushing
Flavored butters, for serving (recipes follow)
Dill-Caper Butter:
1 stick softened butter
1/4 cup chopped dill
2 tablespoons capers
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Sweet Curry Butter:
1 stick softened butter
3 tablespoons mango chutney
2 tablespoons roasted curry powder
Maple-Chipotle Butter:
1 stick softened butter
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon adobo sauce, from a can of chipotles
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Pulse in the diced butter just a few times, until it is in pea-size pieces.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the milk or buttermilk until the dough just comes together but is not fully combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, then gather the dough together and pat into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle (5 by 10 inches). Fold the rectangle in half and pat until 3/4 inch thick again. Repeat the folding and patting process 4 more times, ending with a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle (5 by 10 inches).
Dip a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter in flour and cut out 8 biscuits, going all the way to the edge of the rectangle (don’t leave any space between the biscuits when you cut). Gather the scraps together, kneading as little as possible; pat until 3/4 inch thick and cut out about 2 more biscuits. (Alternatively, use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch squares.)
Place the biscuits on an ungreased, unlined baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with milk or buttermilk. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
