Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper, ensuring there is enough overhang to easily lift the biscuits out after baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fluffy, ensuring the sugar is fully incorporated for a lighter texture.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar until evenly blended, adding a lovely fragrant note to the dough.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a cohesive dough forms without any dry flour patches.
- Press Dough: Transfer the dough into the prepared baking dish and press it evenly across the bottom using your hands or the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden while the center remains pale and set, indicating the perfect bake for a tender biscuit.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the baked dough out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. While still warm, cut into rectangles or squares.
- Final Cooling: Let the cut biscuits cool completely before serving to allow them to firm up and develop their signature crumbly texture.
Notes
- For a richer, more flavorful biscuit, opt for European-style butter which has a higher fat content.
- Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain freshness and texture.
- These biscuits make an excellent accompaniment to hot tea or coffee, adding a comforting touch to your beverage break.
