Salt0.5 tsp
Butter6 tbsp
Milk0.75 cup

Method

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

3

Add cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

4

Pour in milk and stir gently with a fork until a soft, sticky dough forms; do not overmix.

5

If using a mix-in or topping, fold it into the dough now.

6

Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 2 tbsp each) onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

7

Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden.

8

Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm.
