Although these are good and easy enough to make, as Gramma says, “You can’t go wrong with Bisquick!”
Baking Powder Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour the fresher, the better
- 3 teaspoons baking powder once again, fresh!
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons shortening
Instructions
-
Refrigerate ALL ingredients - make sure they are cold before beginning.
-
Preheat oven to 475F.
-
Mix the dry ingredients
-
Cut in the shortening with your fingers.
-
Add the milk
-
Don't work the mixture too much, the dough should be very moist.
-
Sprinkle some flour on a pastry cloth and dump out the dough
-
Pat the dough gently out until it is about 12" round
-
Fold in half and pat out until it is a uniform, 1/2" thick
-
Use a biscuit cutter and press straight down into the dough (don't twist as that action can seal the edges)
-
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
