Butter Biscuits

0 Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Set aside.
1 Melt the extra tablespoon of butter in a bowl. Set aside.
2 Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
3 Grate the full stick of butter directly into the flour mixture with a box or cheese grater. Mix with a rubber spatula or your hands to coat the butter in the flour mixture.
4 Pour in the milk, and stir gently until just combined. The dough should start to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Be careful not to stir it too much or the rise will be affected.
5 Flour a flat surface or countertop. Flour your hands, too.
6 Turn out the dough onto a floured countertop. Sprinkle flour on top of the dough, too.
7 Pat the dough a 1" tall rectangle, working quickly, then fold it into thirds, bringing the short sides to meet in the middle, like you would a tri-fold pamphlet or a letter.
8 Gently pat the dough into another 1" tall rectangle, and cut into squares with a sharp knife.
9 Place on the prepared sheet pan. Brush the tops with melted butter.
10 Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown in the preheated oven.
11 Enjoy with softened butter, jams and more!
