If you're looking for a flaky basic biscuit, this recipe is the best. These golden-brown rolls bake up tall, light and tender. Their mild flavor tastes even better when the warm biscuits are spread with butter or jam. Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
3 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 egg |
2/3 cup 2% milk |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
2. Turn onto a well-floured surface; knead 20 times. Roll to 3/4-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
3. Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
