Baking Powder Biscuits

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Sift dry ingredients into mixer w/dough hook. Cut butter into small cubes and add to mixture. Mix with dough hook to incorporate butter. (If no mixer just cut-in with a fork) Add the milk, gradually, still mixing. Dough should be soft but not sticky, add more flour if needed.

Place dough on a floured surface pat or roll out to about a one inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter or cup/glass rim and place on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little milk and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until just turning brown on top.
