Baking Powder Biscuits image

This is my mother's biscuit recipe. They always turn out light and fluffy, the best. I can't tell you how many of these I have made in my lifetime, but I can assure you they are always greeted with enthusiasm and my dinner guests would be disappointed if I didn't have some of these waiting for them, fresh out of the oven.

Time 35m

Yield 36 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups flour
8 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Crisco
2 tablespoons sugar
2 large beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Sift together flour and baking powder.
  • Stir in salt and sugar.
  • Cut in the Crisco until the mixture resembles crumbs.
  • Stir together eggs and milk.
  • Make a well in the dry mixture and stir in the milk mixture with a fork.
  • Stir just to moisten, then turn out onto a lightly floured board.
  • Knead about 15 times, then pat lightly into a circle, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • (The secret to light and fluffy biscuits is to handle the dough as little as possible) With a sharp round cutter, cut out rounds, without twisting the cutter.
  • Just give it a sharp tap, then lift straight up (twisting the cutter causes the biscuits to slope over when they are baking) place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve warm.

These biscuits were a bit bland for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some herbs or cheese next time.

These biscuits were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they still tasted good.

Not bad, but not great either. The biscuits were a bit too dense for my taste.

Delicious! These biscuits were light and fluffy, with a perfect golden brown crust. I'll definitely be making them again.

These biscuits were easy to make, but they didn't rise very well. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I've made these biscuits several times now, and they're always a hit! They're so versatile - I've served them with everything from fried chicken to soup. They're also great for breakfast sandwiches.

These biscuits were a bit dry for my taste, but I think that was because I didn't use enough butter. Next time I'll try adding an extra tablespoon or two.

I'm not much of a baker, but these biscuits turned out great! They were easy to make and tasted delicious. My family loved them.

These biscuits were a delightful surprise! I've tried many biscuit recipes, but these were by far the most tender and flavorful. They had a perfect balance of flakiness and crumbliness, and the buttermilk added a lovely tang.
