Recipe Introduction
Posted by: MissEllie **************These are my favorite. I have used butter flavored Crisco instead of the butter. You can cut these with a cutter or drop them
List of Ingredients
2 Cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tablespoons sugar (sometimes I use a little more to make a
sweeter biscuit if I'm using it for a shortcake)
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 Cup butter or margarine (NOT softened)
1 egg
Milk
Recipe
Mix the dry ingredients.
Cut butter into the flour mixture and mix until crumbly. Use a pastry blender or two knives, until the pieces of butter are no bigger than a pea.
Break the egg into a glass measuring cup and lightly beat it, and add enough milk to make 3/4 c. Stir into flour mixture. Turn out onto pastry board a lightly knead a few times. Pat out until about 1/2 thick on a floured board and cut with biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. Bake 400 degrees for about 10-12 minutes - until they rise up and and turn light brown.
