Ingredients
- 1/4 c. Butter, cold
- 2 c. All purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. Baking powder
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 3/4 - 1c. Milk
Method
- Heat oven to 450°f. 230°c. gas mark 8. Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt, then cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Stir in just enough milk so the dough comes together into a ball leaving the sides of the bowl clean. Too much will make the dough sticky, not enough will make the biscuits dry.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly to make the dough nice and smooth.
- Roll out to 1/2 thick, cut with a floured biscuit cutter.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Immediately remove from the cookie sheet.
- Makes about 10-12 biscuits.
