Soften 4 tbsp. of butter (1/2 a stick) in the microwave. It should take about 20 seconds, but the time depends on your microwave. You can take the butter out ahead of time and allow it to soften naturally while sitting out on a countertop.

Pour in 3/4 cup of milk slowly. Keep mixing as you are pouring the milk in.

Step 7
Spend 1 minute folding the dough over and pressing on it, then roll it out flat.

Use a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out the dough. If you don't have either of these, cut out a circle with a sharp knife.

Place on a cookie sheet and insert into the oven at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
