Perfect for some afternoon tea; or if you're like us, a simple dessert on a weekday. You can use this biscuit recipe as your regular dinner rolls and use leftovers as dessert accompanied by homemade apple butter, and homemade pumpkin butter.

Let's get Started!!

Biscuits Printable Recipe
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
1 Tbsp. Granulated Sugar
1 Tsp. Salt
6 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter, chilled in the freezer for 10-15 minutes
3/4 Cup Milk
2 Tbsp. Milk

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and grease a baking sheet with non stick spray.

Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and mix well; set aside.

Remove the butter from the freezer, and using a box grater, shred the butter into the flour mixture. Use your hand to incorporate together until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add in the milk and stir to combine. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently kneed the dough until it comes together. 

Once the dough is cohesive, fold it onto itself and gently flatten, rotate the dough and fold in half again, and flatten, repeat this step 5-6 times.

Using your hands flatten the dough until it is 1 inch thick, use your biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. Rework the scraps and cut out another set of biscuits.

Gently brush the top of the biscuits with the 2 tablespoons of milk and bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

1/4 Tsp. Nutmeg
1 Cup Apple Cider

2 Tsp. Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

In a medium saucepan, combine all of the ingredients with the exception on the lemon and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cook for 25 minutes. Making sure to stir often. Add in the lemon juice and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Apple Butter Printable Recipe
5 lbs. Apples peeled, cored, and chopped
1 Cup Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Ground Clove

1 Cup Apple Cider

In a Dutch oven, combine all of the ingredients and bring to a boil.
