Buttery Baking Powder Biscuits
Ingredients: Metric Units
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c butter
2/3 c milk
1 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c butter
2/3 c milk
Directions:
Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder (or combine with a fork). Add sugar.
Cut the butter into small pieces and cut it into the flour with a pastry blender
or a fork. Add milk.
Stir/knead to make a slightly sticky dough.
Drop by large spoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Bake at 425° F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes a very flaky, crumbly biscuit.
(For a less crumbly biscuit, substitute vegetable shortening like Crisco for the butter.)
Serve with honey.
