Homemade Biscuits & Stew

Check baking powder for freshness; use 1/2 teaspoon to test with 2 tablespoons vinegar.

In a bowl, combine 2.5 cups flour, 2.5 teaspoons baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt, and a pinch of sugar; whisk together.

Cut 0.5 cup cold butter into pieces and mix into the flour until crumbly using a pastry utensil.

Add 0.75 cup whole milk and 1 beaten egg to the mixture; lightly mix without incorporating too much air.

Lightly flour the countertop and knead the dough together, adding more flour if it feels sticky.

Flatten the dough to about 0.5 inch thick using hands or a rolling pin.

Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or improvised method; rework scraps to cut more biscuits.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until done.

Prepare turkey soup by heating it up; mix in cornstarch with some broth until smooth, then add to the soup and bring to a boil before simmering.

Check biscuits with a toothpick to ensure they are done; they should come out clean.

Taste test the biscuits and serve with the turkey soup poured on top.
