I created this recipe in a larger quantity to enter in the Kentucky State Fair. It won first place! Since biscuits are best fresh out of the oven, I sized my recipe down to yield four Ingredients:
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons shortening |
3 tablespoons milk |
2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk, tossing with a fork until a ball forms.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5-6 times. Roll or pat to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon butter. Bake at 450° for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with remaining butter. Serve warm. Yield: 4 biscuits.
