It's hard to believe that there are only three tablespoons of butter in these biscuits, which are flaky and very tender. Malted milk powder is an interesting addition to the dough.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 9 biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon malted milk powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
