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.

Yield Makes 9 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

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
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped
3/4 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Stir in walnuts. Add milk and stir with fork until dough comes together. Gather dough into ball.
  • Knead dough gently on floured work surface until smooth, about 10 turns. Pat dough into 9-inch square about 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 9 squares. Transfer squares to ungreased baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Bake biscuits until puffed and light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
