I have made these biscuits for years… They are so good!
Ingredients:
- 2c flour
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 2 tsp sugar or honey
- 1/2c butter
- 2/3c milk (or so!)
Method (traditional oven):
- Preheat oven to 450F. For best results, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Parchment paper can be reused, so be sure to safe it after baking.
- Combine dry ingredients and mix. Add butter and, using butter knives in a criss-cross pattern or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles oatmeal. You can also blend everything together with a food processor.
- Add the milk until dough forms. If you are using a food processor, add a bit of milk and let the flour mixture circulate around the blade for a bit and add the milk bit by bit just until the dough forms into a ball. If you add too much, you can add flour to remove the stickiness, but that affects the final outcome of the biscuit.
- Turn onto lightly floured surface and pat or roll 1/2 inch thick. Then using a biscuit cutter or mason jar rings or cookie cutters, cut your biscuits. Form remaining dough bits into a ball and roll flat again, cut more biscuits and I usually take the last remaining bit and squish it into a ball and flatten it if it won’t fill a biscuit cutter – it may not look as pretty but someone will still eat it.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops start to brown.
