Recipe by Williams Sonoma

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

6 tblsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

3/4 cup whole milk

In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter just until the mixture forms large coarse crumbs, the size of small peas. Pour in the milk and mix with a fork or rubber spatula just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently a few times until it clings together. Using a spoon, drop biscuits onto the pan to make drop biscuits. OR roll or pat out the dough until 3/4 inch thick if you want to cut it out with a biscuit cutter.

Yield 12 biscuits

**These are yummy by themselves, but tastes great paired with soup too. Beware, they're addicting!
