List of Ingredients





2 cups flour
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
5 tbsp. butter, margarne (or shortening)
3/4 cup milk, (approximately


Recipe




Heat oven to 450ºF (240ºC). Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut butter into flour, mix with a pastry blender. Mix in milk slowly, add just enough to make a soft dough. If adding too much, it gets sticky and hard to work with. If this happens, don't worry; just add a little more flour to even it out. Turn dough onto floured surface and flatten. Cut shapes with (top of) a glass or a biscuit cutter. Bake 10 - 12 minutes, depending on size, thickness and oven. Optional: Add cheese or herbs for more fancy dinner biscuits. These biscuits are obviously also great for breakfast.
Noyr: For dumplings use almost 1 cup milk. They need to be somewhat sticky.)OR
