Categories     Breads

Time 42m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
4 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening (I use Butter Flavor Crisco--the sticks measure exactly 1 cup each)
1 1/3 cups milk

Steps:

  • Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Cut in shortening with a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Cover bowl& refrigerate for about 30 minutes (this step can be skipped, but it makes the dough easier to handle if it's cold).
  • Make a well in the center of the mixture& add milk all at once.
  • Stir just until dough clings together.
  • Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
  • On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently 10-12 strokes (don't over-knead or handle dough too much, or it will become tough).
  • Roll or pat dough to 1/2" thickness.
  • Cut with a floured 2 1/2" biscuit cutter--cut straight down to the board, then twist& lift cutter--dipping cutter into flour after each cut.
  • Transfer biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Place biscuits so they're almost touching, and press two fingers lightly into top of each biscuit.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  • *Note:Placing biscuits close together on baking sheet helps them to rise, as they"climb" on each other.
  • Also, pressing your fingers into the center of each biscuit keeps the middles from rising higher than the sides.

These biscuits were a little dry for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.
