Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

- Serve warm, optionally with butter or your favorite spread.
Notes
For gluten-free biscuits, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
For added spice, mix in a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes.
Refrigerate prepared dough for up to 24 hours if making ahead of time.
