Easy Biscuits
Ingredients
  • 2cups self rising flour
  • 2/3cup milk,sour cream or cottage cheese may be substituted
  • 1tablespoon sugar (honey may be substitutedor if making dessert biscuits or shortcakes, add more sugar)
  • 5tablespoons salted butter or margarinesome use lard or oil – I find that butter works best
Instructions
  1. Mix sugar with flour and using a pastry cutter, cut butter into flour until well-blended. If a pastry cutter is not available, substitute using a fork.
  2. Slowly add milk. When well-incorporated, turn onto lightly floured work space and knead (press lightly into the center of the dough with the palms of your hand, then fold in half with your palms. Repeat this process about five or six times.) Be careful to not over-knead the dough.
  3. Pat and roll until dough is even and measures about 1/2-inch in thickness. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit for at least 1/2 an hour.
  4. Return to biscuits and using a cup, cut individual biscuits and place on lightly greased baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Biscuits should be lightly golden when removed from the oven.
