Storage and Serving Suggestions

Once baked, these biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, consider freezing them. Just make sure to separate the biscuits with parchment paper before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. This way, you can enjoy your homemade treats on demand, straight from the freezer.

For serving, you can dust the biscuits with powdered sugar or drizzle them with a simple glaze for an elegant touch. Pair them with fresh fruit or a scoop of ice cream for a delightful dessert that will impress your guests. The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients

For the Biscuits

1 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Make sure to measure all ingredients accurately for the best results.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and condensed milk until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Form the Dough

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Shape the Biscuits

Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Enjoy your biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee!

Baking Tips for Success

To ensure your condensed milk biscuits turn out perfectly every time, it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially for flour, to avoid overly dense biscuits. Additionally, make sure your butter is softened to room temperature; this will help achieve a smooth and creamy mixture when combined with the condensed milk.

Another helpful tip is to not overmix the dough. Stir until just combined to maintain the light and fluffy texture that makes these biscuits so delightful. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so handle the dough gently.

Creative Variations

While the original recipe is fantastic on its own, consider experimenting with flavors to create your unique twist. Adding a teaspoon of almond extract can introduce a lovely nutty flavor, or you might incorporate spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy, warm taste that’s perfect for the fall.

For a tropical flair, try mixing in some shredded coconut or chopped pineapple. Not only will this enhance the flavor, but it will also add a delightful texture to the biscuits. Get creative and let your taste buds guide you!

Sharing the Love

Baking is best enjoyed when shared, so consider making a double batch of these biscuits to share with friends and family. They also make fantastic gifts for neighbors, co-workers, or anyone who could use a little sweetness in their day.

You can package them in decorative boxes or tins, adding a personal touch with a handwritten note. Sharing your baked goods not only spreads joy but also creates lasting memories filled with love and deliciousness.
