These Southern Biscuit Muffins offer the best of both worlds: the comforting, flaky richness of traditional biscuits with the convenient, soft crumb of a muffin.

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease 12 muffin cups with butter or cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Work the butter into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with no large lumps remaining.
-
Pour in the cold milk and stir gently with a fork or spoon just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix; the batter should be shaggy and slightly lumpy.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
