Cracker Barrel Like Biscuits! Really!

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 beaten egg
• extra butter, melted, for brushing

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450.
• 2 sift (this is important!) together the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
• 3 cut in the butter and then stir in the milk until the dough comes together.
• 4 divide the dough in half, and then each half in half again. continue doing this until you have 32 small, roughly-equal, portions. roll these into balls. take two balls at a time and press them together into one disk. (this is what allows the biscuits to separate nicely for buttering!) don't press them too flat, they should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. keep doing this until you have 16 disks. place them on a ungreased cookie sheet, sides touching. brush lightly with beaten egg .
• 5 bake 8 - 10 minutes, depending on how dark you like them. 9 minutes works for me.
• 6 when they come out, immediately brush them generously with melted butter.
• 7 eat some right away! they are so good fresh from the oven! enjoy!
