Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder ( double-acting)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter

Directions:

Sift flour into mixing bowl with baking powder and salt.
Using fingers, two knives, or a heavy fork, blend butter and flour into very fine particles. (Don't beat any longer than you absolutely must!).
Add milk and stir just enough to ake particles cling together - it will be a very soft dough.
(You may have to add up to another 1/4 cup of milk, for a total of 1 cup of milk in the biscuit dough.) Turn on to floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
Drop dough by large spoonfuls on to a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray.
Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes.
