Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started on making these heavenly biscuits! First, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. I like to whisk them together to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Next, add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. It should feel a little sandy yet remain slightly lumpy.
