Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 scant cup milk

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening using a pastry cutter until combined.
  • Add milk and stir in using a fork just to bring everything together into a shaggy clump. Try not to overwork the dough by stirring too much.
  • On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into about a 1-inch thickness, then cut out using a biscuit cutter, or even just use a knife to create square biscuits and transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until tops barely begin to brown. Remove from oven and serve hot with butter, honey and jam.
