American Style Breakfast Biscuits




I first had these amazing biscuits in McDonalds and since then I've been a big fan of these cute little wonders. I wanted to make these at home for a long time now; but alas! However, today I finally decided to make them. They are perfect for breakfast or a snack. You can have these with butter, jam, nutella, eggs, bacon or just by themselves. Am sure you’ll enjoy these bite sized biscuits anywhere, anytime!! J

Ingredients

All-purpose flour (maida) – 2 Cups
Butter – 1/3 Cup, cold and cut in to cubes
Baking Powder – 1 tbsp.
Sugar – 1 tbsp.
Salt – 1 tsp
Milk – ¾ to 1 cup
Note: I did not have baking powder or baking soda while making the biscuits. However, I used “ENO (fruit salt)” as a substitute for the baking powder.

Yield - 23 bite sized biscuits/ 6 - 7 large biscuits

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven at 420 degrees F/ 215 degrees C.
2. In a big bowl, put all the dry ingredients. Add butter cubes and mix everything together. The mixture will be coarse and dry.
3. Add milk (little by little) to the mixture and knead it in to smooth dough.
4. Place the dough on a floured surface and flatten (by either patting it or by using a rolling pin) it out till it is 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits using a cookie cutter or anything that is round (I used a wide water bottle’s cap).
5. Brush off any excess flour on the biscuits. Place them on to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake the biscuits for 15 – 17 minutes or until the edges begin browning.
