McDonald's Biscuit Recipe
Our delicious, easy-to-follow McDonald's biscuit recipe will transport you straight to your favorite fast-food chain without ever having to leave your kitchen.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Rolling Pin
- Round biscuit or cookie cutter
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour 2 cups
- Sugar 1 tablespoon
- Baking powder 1 tablespoon
- Salt ½ teaspoon
- Unsalted butter (cold and cubed) ½ cup
- Whole milk ¾ cup
- Additional melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Set your oven's temperature to 425°F (220°C) and ready a baking tray with a coating of parchment paper.
- In your large bowl, blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the chilled, diced butter to your dry mix. Utilize your fingers to press the butter into the flour until it takes on a crumbly texture.
- Introduce the milk into the mix, stirring gently until combined. Avoid over-stirring!
- On a flour-sprinkled surface, extend the dough until it's approximately 1 inch in thickness. Use your biscuit or cookie cutter to form round shapes.
- Situate the dough rounds on your readied baking sheet and gloss the tops with some melted butter.
- Allow the biscuits to bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they develop a radiant golden color.
- Once done, let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Customize your McDonald's biscuit recipe by adding cheddar cheese or herbs for a flavorful twist.
- For a healthier twist, try whole wheat flour.
- Achieve flaky biscuits by minimally handling the dough and using chilled butter.
- Letting the cut biscuit dough rest for a few minutes before baking for an even fluffier result.
- Always serve your biscuits warm to enjoy the full spectrum of their delightful textures and flavors.
