Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 tbsp cold light butter, cubed
- ¾ cup low-fat milk (plus a little more if needed)
- 1 tsp honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut in the Butter
Place flour in a large bowl. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add Milk
Pour in milk and honey (if using). Stir gently until dough just comes together—do not overmix.
4. Shape the Dough
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle and fold in half once or twice for flakiness. Pat back down and cut into 8 rounds with a biscuit cutter or glass.
5. Bake
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Serve
Serve warm, split open, and enjoy with butter, jam, or savory toppings.
