Ingredients
Flour, white, 2 cup Baking Powder, 3 tsp Salt, .5 tsp Margarine, hard, 16 tsp Milk, 1%, .75 cup
In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder and salt. Add 1/3 cup of shortening and cut in until the mixture looks like corse crumbs. You can use two knives or a pastry blender to do this. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until the dough clings together.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 - 12 strokes. Pat or roll the dough until it's 1/2" thickness. Cut the dough with a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter or glass. Dipp the cutter in flour between cuts. Transfer the cut biscuits to an UNgreased baking sheet. Bake in a 450° oven for 10 - 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
Makes 10
Variation: if you're in a hurry, make drop biscuits by increasing milk to 1 cup. Combine ingredients as above but do not knead. Use a nive to push dough from a tablespoon onto teh baking sheet. Bake as directed. This method gives you 12 biscuits rather than 10. The nutritional info for the recipe is NOT calculated according to this variation.
