A Delicious American Classic: Kentucky-Style Biscuit Recipe

Kentucky-style biscuits are a popular American baked dish, known for a lightly crisp exterior and a soft interior. They are often served with chicken dishes or at breakfast with butter, honey or jam.

To make them, combine two cups of flour with one tablespoon of baking powder, one teaspoon of salt and one tablespoon of granulated sugar. Add 100 grams of cold butter, cut into small cubes, and work it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

The butter should not melt completely, and the dough should not be overworked. Add one cup of cold milk and mix gently until the dough comes together. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about two to three centimeters, then cut out rounds with a cutter or glass.

Place the biscuits close together on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated 200°C oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Brush the hot biscuits with a little butter if desired, and serve warm.
