“Winning Biscuits”

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Sugar
• ⅓ cups Cold Butter
• ¾ cups Whole Milk
• 3 Tablespoons Whole Milk, Only If Needed

Preparation Instructions

To begin, preheat oven to 425 F.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut the butter into pieces, and drop into the flour mixture. With a pastry blender, fork or knives, cut the butter into the mixture until all of the butter pieces are smaller than a pea. Stir in 3/4 cup of the milk, and add 2-3 tablespoons more as needed to just mix together the dough.

On a floured surface, pat out the dough into a smooth flat shape, about 3/4 inch thick. With a biscuit cutter or glass, cut biscuits, placing them on a baking stone/baking sheet. Form the dough scraps together and cut some more biscuits. Take the final scraps and form them into a biscuit by hand. This usually makes around 10 biscuits, depending on how you pat out the dough.

Bake for about 10-13 minutes, or until just golden on top. Enjoy!
