When I was a kid, my mom made us sit and taste biscuit after biscuit searching for the best recipe. This is what we voted as the favorite, and we've all been making them ever since! PERFECT for biscuits and gravy! Or add more sugar and use for strawberry shortcake! YUM Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1/2 cup shortening |
2/3 cup milk |
1 egg |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Mix dry ingredients.
3. Cut in shorting with a pastry blender or a couple butter knives.
4. Stir in milk and egg.
5. Knead with flour until doughy (not so sticky).
6. Roll out 3/4 to 1 inch and cut with biscuit cutter.
7. Place close together on an ungreased cookie sheet.
8. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tops begin to brown.
9. (check the bottoms to make sure they're cooked through).
10. I usually double this recipe if I'm making them for a main course (biscuits & gravy) or use as is for a dinner bread with the meal.
