Mixed Berry Biscuits Recipe

Embed
    20 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cups All-Purpose Flour, Plus more for flouring the work surface
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/3 cup Butter, Very cold
  • 1/2 cup Evaporated Milk, Plus more for brushing the tops of the biscuits
  • 3/4 cup Fresh Mixed Berries, Like blueberries and sliced strawberries

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease well (the cooked berries tend to stick to the baking surface).
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Use a box grater to cut the butter into the flour and then work the butter and flour together with your fingers until you have uniform coarse crumbs, none larger than a pea.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir in the evaporated milk until the dough is evenly damp. Fold in the berries and then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  5. Working with floured hands to prevent sticking, pat the dough out to about ½ - ¾” thick. Use a small biscuit cutter (about 2”) OR a floured juice glass to cut out the biscuits.
  6. Place them about an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops with a little evaporated milk and then bake for 15 minutes. The tops will be golden brown.
  8. These are best served warm but I still love them cold the next day.
