One day I had company coming and realized I had run out of biscuit mix. I'd never made biscuits from scratch before, but I decided to give this recipe a try. Now this is the only way I make them! Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup shortening |
2/3 cup milk |
1 egg |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk milk and egg. Stir into crumb mixture just until moistened.
2. Drop by heaping spoonfuls 2 in. apart onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
