Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (230 grams) butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancer:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by positioning oven rack in center and heating to 350°F, ensuring even temperature distribution.
- Combine softened butter and sugar in mixing bowl, utilizing electric mixer to create a smooth, aerated cream with light texture.
- Incorporate vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to distribute aromatic essence uniformly throughout mixture.
- Sift dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, and salt – into separate container, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into butter mixture, mixing gently until cohesive dough forms without overmixing.
- Carefully portion dough into uniform spherical shapes using light hand pressure, arranging them methodically on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Delicately press each spherical dough portion using fork tines or fingertips, creating subtle surface indentations for consistent spreading.
- Position baking sheet in preheated oven, monitoring closely as biscuits transform to golden-edged perfection within 12-15 minutes.
- Allow biscuits to rest momentarily on baking sheet for initial cooling, then transfer to wire rack to complete cooling process and prevent continued baking.
- Present biscuits on serving platter, ready to be savored and enjoyed.
Notes
- Chill butter beforehand for extra flaky texture that melts in your mouth.
- Use cold ingredients to achieve a lighter, more tender biscuit structure.
- Experiment with alternative flours like almond or gluten-free blends for dietary restrictions.
- Avoid overmixing dough to prevent tough, dense biscuits that lack delicate crumbling.
