These are probably the most tender and fluffy biscuits from scratch we’ve ever made. These baking powder biscuits are large, tall, tender, and scrumptious. My most well-liked methodology is to get out my meals processor. It’s a wonderful instrument for chopping the chilly butter into our flour combination because it’s fast. In the event you don’t really feel like getting your meals processor out, you need to use your palms or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour (suggestions are supplied within the notes part)
