Biscuits
Makes 10
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 Tbs baking powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup shortening, butter or margarine
- 2/3 cup milk
Directions:
In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add milk all at once. Stir just until dough clings together.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 10-12 strokes. Roll or pat dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2 inch biscuit cutter, dipping cutter into flour between cuts.
Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet. Bake in a 450° oven for 10 to 12 min or until golden brown.
