These biscuits are tender every time! My kids love these with sausage gravy, but I think I like them best with lots of butter and strawberry jam!
Ingredients:
1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
3 t. powdered milk
2 t. sugar
2 1/2 t. baking powder
3/4 t. salt
1 good pinch cream of tartar
1/4 c. butter-flavored shortening
2/3 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. melted margarine, divided
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Stir together dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
3. Cut in the shortening until blended thoroughly.
4. Stir in buttermilk and 2 T. of the melted margarine until well blended.
5. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 1 minute, or until smooth and elastic.
6. Roll out dough to 1/2 - 3/4 thickness; cut with a floured biscuit cutter; place biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
