These biscuits are so good! My family loved them- said that they tasted like the biscuits from KFC! They come out to be really light and fluffy. The dough is also very nice, and I even like to use it in one of my desserts. If you need to save time, you don't have to sift the flour- but the sifted flour does make them a little bit more light. This recipe will make more or less biscuits depending on the size you make them. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups pre-sifted all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
5 tablespoons butter or 5 tablespoons shortening, chilled |
3/4 cup milk or 3/4 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut the butter or shortening into the flour until it is the consistency of cornmeal- slightly crumbly. Add milk or buttermilk all at once.
3. Stir the dough until it comes away from the sides of the bowl, then turn it onto a lightly floured board. Sift a small amount of flour over the top. Knead dough until no longer sticky and it is smooth.
4. Roll out dough to desired thickness. Cut dough with a bicuit cutter or cookie cutter dipped in a little flour. Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little melted butter.
5. Bake biscuits 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
