Baking Powder Biscuits


2 c. all purpose flour
1 T. sugar
3 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1/2 c. shortening (I used butter)
3/4 c. milk

1. Heat oven to 450.
2. In medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk until dough leaves side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
3. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 - 2 1/4 inch round cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart for crusty sides, touching for soft sides.
4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.

These tasted absolutely amazing. It makes about 12 biscuits and Cameron and I dusted off about half of them in one sitting. They had a great buttery taste since I replaced the shortening with butter. The biscuits really tasted like ones you would be served at a restaurant and were much tastier than Pillsbury biscuits as well.
