Baking powder biscuits are one of my favorite foods! They're delicious with jelly or honey - I love having them for brunch. So today I'm sharing our recipe for them.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups, 2 tbsp. flour
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 4 1/2 tbsp. Crisco
- 3/4 cup milk
Yield: 6-8 large biscuits
Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until the mixture looks like a course meal (you should still be able to see little clumps of shortening).
Add milk by sprinkling it over the flour mixture tossing it in the bowl until all the milk is incorporated and you have a soft dough.
Stir the mixture until it forms a ball which follows the fork around the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a floured board or pastry cloth and knead for about 30 seconds.
Pat or roll to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter.
Place 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with milk or melted butter. Bake for 12 minutes at 450º.
Immediately split biscuit and place a pat of butter inside. You can serve them with jelly, honey, or by themselves. Enjoy!
