Ingredients
  

  • 1 Stick Unsalted Butter, Melted
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Roasted Garlic Seasoning
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 2 Cups Plain White Flour
  • 3/4 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Leavening Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Fine Cane Sugar

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C). Arrange a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures that your biscuits won’t stick, making cleanup a breeze.
Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, leavening powder, black pepper, sea salt, cane sugar, roasted garlic seasoning, and dried thyme. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients thoroughly. This helps to aerate the flour and distribute the leavening evenly.
Step 3: Mix in the Wet Ingredients
  1. Now it's time to add the wet ingredients. Pour in the melted butter and the whole milk. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together.
    Be cautious not to overmix; you want it to be just combined. The dough will appear a bit lumpy, and that’s perfectly fine.
Step 4: Drop the Biscuits onto the Baking Sheet
  1. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop large spoonfuls of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Aim for about 1.5 inches apart. They will expand a bit, so give them a little room to grow.
Step 5: Bake and Enjoy
  1. Slide the baking sheet into the oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the tops turn a lovely golden brown. Keep an eye on them—ovens can be sneaky! As soon as you smell the buttery goodness wafting through your kitchen, they’re likely done.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
  1. Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, slathered with butter or your favorite spread.

Notes

  • Use Cold Ingredients: Cold butter and milk can help create a flakier texture. Don’t skip this!
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined. Overmixing can make the biscuits dense.
  • Experiment with Herbs: Feel free to add fresh herbs or cheese for added flavor.
  • Check for Doneness: Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on those biscuits towards the end of baking.
  • Serve Immediately: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
