Total Time: 25 mins
Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup milk
Recipe
- 1 preheat oven to 425°f.
- 2 sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl.
- 3 measure shortening and cut into flour mixture with pastry blender, two knives or blending fork, until mixture looks like "meal."
- 4 stir in almost all the milk.
- 5 if dough does not seem pliable, add the remaining milk using just enough to make a soft, puffy dough easy to roll out.
- 6 knead quickly on a lightly floured board (too much handling makes tough biscuits).
- 7 roll out 1/4-inch thick for thin crusty biscuits and 1/2-inch thick for thick biscuits.
- 8 place on ungreased cookie sheet; close together for biscuits with soft sides, an inch apart for biscuits with crusty sides.
- 9 bake 10 to 12 minutes.
