Ingredients:
For the Biscuits:
- 227 grams (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened to 65 to 67ºF (18 to 19ºC)
- 132 grams (2/3 cup) granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
- 5 grams (3/4 teaspoon) kosher salt or sea salt
- 284 grams (2 cups) all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 325ºF (165ºC). Line an 8 by 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each side.
- Make the Dough: In a stand or hand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed. Mix until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour and mix on low until a hydrated and crumbly dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Form the Dough: Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and press it down evenly. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top and use the bottom of a spatula to flatten the surface.
- Prick and Chill: Use a fork to lightly prick the surface of the dough about 36 times, evenly spaced. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or freeze for a maximum of 15 minutes.
- Bake: Bake until the surface and edges are golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Cut: Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then use a sharp knife to cut them into rectangles of desired size. Optionally, sprinkle the surface with granulated sugar while warm, about 1 tablespoon.
- Cool: Let the biscuits cool completely in the pan, then carefully lift them out using the parchment paper overhang. Re-slice if needed to separate them.
Notes:
- These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave for a warm, comforting treat.
- Feel free to customize the flavor of the biscuits by adding spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg, or incorporating mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- For a festive touch, drizzle melted chocolate or icing over the cooled biscuits before serving.
