This is Chick Fil A Biscuit Recipe Ingredients list and Instructions.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

• 3/4 cup buttermilk (cold)

• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
• Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
• Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently fold the dough over itself 2-3 times to help create layers. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
• Using a round cutter (about 2-3 inches in diameter), cut out the biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise properly.
• Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together but not touching.
• Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little milk for a golden finish.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen.
  
• Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy!

FAQs

Q: Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour?
A: Yes, but omit the baking powder and salt from the recipe, as self-rising flour already contains them.

Q: Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the dough, cut out the biscuits, and refrigerate them overnight. Bake them fresh in the morning.

Q: Can I use buttermilk instead of regular milk?
A: Absolutely! Buttermilk will add extra tang and tenderness to the biscuits.

Q: How do I get my biscuits to rise higher?
A: Handle the dough as little as possible, and make sure your baking powder is fresh. Also, place the biscuits close together on the baking sheet to help them rise.

Q: Can I add cheese or herbs to the biscuits?
A: Yes! Add shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, or fresh herbs like chives for a savory twist.
