SOUTHERN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 230 Degrees C
• COLD butter: cut butter into small, pea-sized pieces and put back in fridge or freezer until needed in the dough
• Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl
• Put COLD butter into mixture
• Add milk and egg and mix JUST until ingredients are combined - DON'T KEEP WORKING IT. The dough will be sticky.
• Generously flour surface and top of dough (so your fingers won't stick) and knead 10-15 times. Add a bit more flour if super sticky
• Pat / roll dough until 3/4 to 1 inch thick and cut with biscuit cutter / glass. (approx 9-12 biscuits)
• Place biscuits on lightly greased / buttered baking sheet (with / without parchment) and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown
• Brush tops with melted butter
