baking powder biscuits
from somewhere on the internet

 

INGREDIENTS

flour   2 cups  
baking powder   2 tsp  
salt   1 tsp  
cold shortening   1/4 cup  
cold milk   2/3 cup  

 METHOD

  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together

  • Cut in the shortening with 2 knives or a pastry blender.

  • Add the milk and mix quickly.

  • Knead for a few seconds on a lightly floured board.

  • Pat out to 1/2" thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter.

  • For soft sides, place close together on a greased baking sheet. For crusty sides, place apart.

  • Bake at once at 450 degrees for 12 minutes

NOTES

  • I used butter instead of shortening and they were so delicious.  I've never made really good biscuits before - they were always to dry and heavy, but these were great!
