1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a small bowl combine milk and lemon juice - set aside for five minutes.
3. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. With a fork or pastry cutter (or fingers) cut butter into flour until it is evenly distributed and resembles small peas. With a large spoon, stir in milk until just combined. Do not over mix; there will still be flour at the bottom of your bowl.
5. Flour a cutting board and turn the dough out onto board. Press down to flatten out to an even 3/4 inch thick.
6. Use a drinking glass or biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Gently gather remaining dough and press out one more time to cut the last biscuits. Discard any remaining dough after this step.
7. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and brush with milk.
8. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden. Serve warm.
