Buttery Baking Powder Biscuits Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Krumkake / All my dishes 7 months ago These biscuits are light, fluffy, raise up high, and are delicious with some butter and jam, or served with any gravy dish like Sausage Gravy or Chicken ala King. When I don’t have whipping cream on hand for the whipping cream biscuits, this is the next best thing!... More Prep:10m Cook:12m Servings:4	Krumkake

Ingredients

3 cups white flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 heaping tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon cream of tartar

½ cup cold butter, cut into slices

¼ cup solid shortening, such as Crisco

1 cup whole milk or half-and-half

Directions

Measure dry ingredients into a bowl, stirring ingredients to mix together.

Add butter and solid shortening, and use a pastry blender to mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (or a couple of forks will work, too, but buy yourself a pastry blender if you don’t have one – they work so well for mixing biscuits!).

Make a well in the center of the dough; pour in the milk or half-and-half.

Stir together only until ingredients are moist – mixing as little as possible will help produce light, flakey biscuits.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead it until it is mixed together (about 8 to 10 turns).

Pat dough out to about a 1½ ” high circle, then use a 3” biscuit cutter (or a large glass) to cut biscuits – I usually get about 8 large biscuits.

Place biscuits on lightly greased cookie sheet, about 2” apart, and bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes (watch the bottoms to be sure they aren’t burning, since temperatures vary greatly between ovens). If the bottoms appear to be browning too much, reduce heat to 400 and continue baking until done.

Serve warm.
