Southern biscuit muffins

12 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2½ cup All-purpose flour
¼ cup Sugar
1½ tablespoon Baking powder
¼ teaspoon Sa;t
¼ pounds Plus 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup Cold milk

Directions

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well, breaking up any lumps. Work the butter in by hand until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, making sure no lumps are left. Gradually stir in the milk, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened. DO NOT OVERBEAT. Spoon the batter into 12 greased muffin cups. Bake at 350F until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. The finished muffins should have a thick crust with a cakelike centre. From Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen
