Grandma's Baking Powder Biscuits image

This is my grandmother's biscuit recipe. It is my all-time favorite and has a really good flavor to it. Be sure not to roll out too thin, you want high biscuits! I usually just pat out the dough to the desired thickness, usually 1/2 inch.

Time 25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup vegetable shortening
1 egg
⅔ cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt into a bowl. Use a pastry cutter to chop vegetable shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl and slowly add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring as you pour, until dough is moistened and well-mixed. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits have risen and are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

I love the way these biscuits taste with a little bit of honey butter. It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
