Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (or table salt)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 1¼ cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins:
- 1 cup chocolate chips, lightly tossed in 1 tbsp flour
Butter Bath:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 450°F. Pour melted unsalted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. No sifter? No problem—just use a fork to mix everything well.
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in milk and vanilla extract. Stir just until combined—don’t overmix or your biscuits will be tough.
4. Fold in Chocolate Chips
Toss chocolate chips in flour (to prevent sinking), then gently fold them into the dough without overmixing.
5. Assemble
Drop biscuit dough right into the buttered baking dish. Use a spatula or spoon to evenly spread it out. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
6. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden on top and fluffy inside. For a crispier finish, broil the top for the last 1–2 minutes.
