BAKING POWDER BISCUITS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F and grease a baking sheet .
• Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-size bowl.
• Work in the butter and shortening with a fork.
• Slowly mix in the milk until a soft dough is formed. Mix the dough by hand with a large wooden or plastic spoon. The dough is too stiff for most electric mixers and it's likely that you'll burn out the motor. Also, your biscuits should not be mixed until the dough is perfectly smooth. A few lumps are actually a good thing in this type of dough, so don't stress about getting it perfect.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board.
• Pat the dough down until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut the dough into four to five equal-sized biscuits and place them on the greased pan.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

• Sprinkle rolling board or table with flour.
• With rolling pin, roll dough out to about 1/2 an inch thickness.
• Using a biscuit cutter or the top of a glass (I use a beer pint glass) cut out as many biscuits as you can. Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few larger clumps remaining.
• Pour in the heavy cream; using a rubber spatula, fold cream into the dough, working in all directions and incorporating crumbs at the bottom of the bowl, until the dough just comes together. The dough will be slightly sticky.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. With floured fingers, gently pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick, pressing in any loose bits. Do not overwork the dough. Use a floured 2 1/4-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits as close together as possible. (Use one cut edge as the edge for the next biscuit.)
• Place the biscuits on an unlined baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Generously brush the tops of the biscuits with cream. Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the biscuits are golden and flecked with brown spots, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
• Follow instructions for Baking Powder Biscuits, adding 1/4 cup of finely chopped herbs, such as rosemary, oregano, thyme, or parsley, to the flour mixture after the butter has been cut in. Proceed with the recipe.
• Follow instructions for Baking Powder Biscuits, increasing sugar to 1/2 cup, and reducing butter to 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup). Pat dough to about 1 1/4 inches thick before cutting out rounds. Before baking, brush rounds with 1 lightly beaten large egg (do not brush with cream), and sprinkle generously with sanding sugar, if desired.
• While biscuits bake, slice 3 pints hulled fresh strawberries in half (or in quarters, if large). In a medium bowl, toss to combine with 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Let mixture macerate for 20 minutes.
• After baking biscuits, cool them on a wire rack for 15 minutes, and then split in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom halves on serving plates, and top each with a dollop of Vanilla Whipped Cream (page 391). Spoon strawberries and juice over each, and cover with the biscuit tops. Serve immediately, with additional strawberries and whipped cream on the side, if desired.
