# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Gather all ingredients, ensuring the butter is cold and cut into small cubes to achieve a flaky texture.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using) until evenly mixed.
03 -
Using a pastry cutter or fingers, incorporate cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, essential for flaky layers.
04 -
Pour in milk or buttermilk and gently stir with a spoon until the dough just comes together, avoiding over-mixing to maintain lightness.
05 -
Fold in any optional add-ins such as cheese, herbs, bacon, jalapeños, or cinnamon sugar mixture according to desired variation.
06 -
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat into a rectangle, fold and pat several times to build layers, then use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds.
07 -
Arrange biscuits on a baking tray, optionally brushing tops with butter or milk. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Keep butter cold and handle dough minimally to create flaky layers.
