These brown butter biscuits are so easy to make. In less than 30 minutes you can have fresh baked biscuits to go with your meal. These biscuits bake in a bath of browned butter and it takes the flavor factor way up!!

- Mix together flour, baking powder, salt , and baking soda in a bowl.
- Cut in the chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in milk gradually until the dough pulls away from the bowl and comes together. You may need more or less than the amount called for. Handle the dough as little as possible, don’t knead.
- Place dough onto a lightly flowered surface and pat dough out to 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or round cutter to cut biscuits.
- Dip both sides of the biscuit into the browned butter and then place in cast iron pan. Â If you don’t have a cast iron pan you can use a glass baking dish too.
