How to make it

Stir in just enough milk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball. (Too much milk will make dough sticky; not enough will make biscuits dry.)
- Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 20 to 25 times.
- Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart for crusty sides,
