As you know most biscuit recipes make anywhere from 8 to 12 biscuits. And some time that's just way too much for two ( or 4 ) people. While making this recipe, I did make a couple of changes on the way that they were made. But, I don't think it affected the finished product. For higher biscuits, I double sifted the dry ingredients( I've always done that :) )If you have the above mentioned Cookbook,please check page 191 for the original recipe. I know this seems like alot of steps, but it's really easy. :)Submitted to ZAAR on October 6th, 2009. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/4 cup shortening |
1/3 cup milk, may need a little more |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Combine dry ingredients and sift twice.
3. In a bowl, mix shortening into dry ingredients until it looks like small dried peas add enough milk until a soft dough ball is formed.
4. Remove dough to a lightly floured board or counter top.
5. With lightly floured hands, pat dough into a 1/2 inch circle.
6. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces, then shape dough into circles.
7. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until desired browness is reached.
8. Serve with lots and lots of butter or margaine.
