This recipe was my grandma's, but I have altered it slightly to make it low-er fat. Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting |
2 tablespoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon coarse salt |
2 teaspoons sugar (you can use splenda, if you want) |
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut in pieces |
2 cups 1 % milk (or heavy cream, if you're not weight-concious) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together well.
3. Add the butter, and, using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the milk and stir just until dough comes together; it will be sticky.
5. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface, and, with floured fingers, pat dough to a 1-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter to cut the biscuits, cutting as close as possible so there are very few scraps.
6. Transfer to a baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
7. Remove from oven; cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.
