Easy Biscuits Recipe

	Ande16 / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago These are some of the best biscuits that I've had. They are SO easy to make and always turn out perfect. You can make them ahead of time and by doing that they will rise even more. We've served them with honey, jam and have even used them for a breakfast cassarole....

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon white sugar

1/3 cup shortening

1 cup milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.

Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times.

Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large BISCUIT cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. (yes, this actually works)

Repeat until all dough is used.

Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.

Please don't use the juice glass as a cutter. The juice glass, having a dull edge, will pinch the edge of the dough down as it cuts. The biscuits will not leaven as much, because of the compressed edge, as a biscuit cut with a clean sharp edge.

Thanks for the tip. I guess I've got some pretty sharp edged juice glasses, I've never had this problem.

I tried these, didn't care for them, they were a little dry and flavorless. i usually use pillsbury. every once in a while i do try to make my own, i've heard its not easy to achieve perfection, and takes practice. so far i haven't made anything better then those i pop from the can.

I like this because it is easy. A little refined technique, like using a biscuit cutter and it turned out good for me.

This is an incredibly easy and delicious recipe. I chose this recipe because it looked so easy because I had never made homemade biscuits before but wanted homemade biscuits! Oh, and I used the juice glass and it was completely sharp enough to use as a cutter. Thanks for the great recipe!
