Growing up Mom always (and still does) served these hot out of the oven with our beef stew. We slathered them with lots of butter & molasses and now the two recipes just go together! We can't have beef stew without them now! I cut them fairly thick for a nice fluffy biscuit. Also good with butter & strawberry jam! Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
2/3 cup butter (i usually just use imperial margarine and make sure it is really cold) |
2/3 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Mix all dry ingredients together.
2. With pastry blender cut in butter.
3. Add milk and mix well to form dough.
4. Knead just a few times until smooth on a floured surface.
5. DO NOT overwork, handle as little as possible.
6. Roll to desired thickness and cut with a floured cutter or bottom of drinking glass.
7. (I tend to cut them fairly thick so I never get the maximum 14 biscuits, more like 10-12!).
8. Bake at 375 for 12-13 minutes.
9. (I find it only takes about 10 minutes in my particular oven).
