Biscuit recipes easy to make
#1 Easy Plain biscuit
For our first easy-to-make biscuit, you will need the following ingredients,
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup cold butter
- One egg
- 1 cup whole milk
Directions:
- First of all, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Next, put in all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
- Use a pastry cutter to cut out the butter. It is important to note here that the butter should be cold. Once you are done making small pieces of the cold butter, put them into the dough and incorporate them nicely.
- Now, add in the milk and egg. Mix well until the ingredients have adequately combined. The dough should be sticky by now, and the butter pieces should be visible in it.
- Once your dough is ready, spread it on a counter or kitchen top sprinkled with flour. Sprinkle some more flour on top and knead well about 10-15 times.
- Now, pat out the dough to about 3/4 – 1-inch in thickness and cut it with a biscuit cutter or glass. It is up to you to decide how many pieces you want to cut out, depending on what size you are choosing.
- After that, place them on a lightly greased baking sheet or parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Finally, brush it off with some molten butter.

- Now line three baking sheets with baking parchment. Put the cornflakes into a bowl and crunch them with your hands. Roll the dough into golf ball-sized balls, along with the cornflakes, and place them spaced out on the lined sheets.
- After that, flatten out each ball slightly with the palm of your hand and press the mini eggs on top of them. Chill them again for about 15 minutes.
