Directions:• In bowl of food processor, combine flour, baking powder and salt and pulse to combine.
• Cut butter into small pieces and add to the bowl of the food processor. Pulse 3-4 times until pea sized butter pieces are well distributed in the flour.
• Drizzle all milk into the bowl of the food processor and pulse about 5 or 6 times, at this point the dough may start to come together, if not don’t worry.
• Lightly flour an area and turn out the dough mixture and quickly knead the dough a couple times to bring everything together.
• Pat the dough down until it is about 1/4 inch thick and then fold the dough in half and pat it down again to about 1/2 inch thick and begin cutting out as many biscuits as possible with a lightly floured biscuit cutter and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Repeat the process quickly until you run out of dough.
• Brush tops with milk and top with cracked black pepper.
Bake 10 – 12 minutes at 450º until lightly browned and highly risen!!
Notes:
• Make sure your ingredients are really cold before you start. Perhaps cut up the butter into chunks and then put it in the freezer until you are ready to use them.
• When cutting out your biscuits, don’t twist the cutter. Just cut down and then up, no twisting. When you twist the cutter it seals the layer and limits the amount of rise you will achieve in your biscuit.
• I don’t use a rolling pin for biscuits, just quick pats with my hands
