There are a lot of way to make biscuits... and frankly I still fall back to my grandmothers recipe. She is the Mother of 6 - and biscuits were served most days as a staple quick bread that was loved by everyone.
Her recipe is
2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp sugar
3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2/3 c. milk
2/3 c. shortening
Mix ingredients together. Knead and add flour until the dough is not sticky. Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into desired shape. Put on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Take them out of pan and put on cooling rack while they are hot.
Now I make a few modifications...
for shortening I use 1/3c butter and 1/3 c crisco. way better flavor
KING ARTHUR flour
you just cant go wrong with this one.
check out their website @ www.kingarthurflour.com It may be a little more $$ than your standard flour - but its a better results producing product - and I love it!
For a typical saturday morning at my house I make this recipe... but if Im making it for anyone else... I double it! I like big thick fluffy biscuits... and a double recipe makes the best!
