INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (double-acting)
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter

DIRECTIONS

  1. Sift flour into mixing bowl with baking powder and salt.
  2. Using fingers, two knives, or a heavy fork, blend butter and flour into very fine particles.(Don’t beat any longer than you absolutely must!).
  3. Add milk and stir just enough to ake particles cling together — it will be a very soft dough.
  4. (You may have to add up to another 1/4 cup of milk, for a total of 1 cup of milk in the biscuit dough.)Turn on to floured surface and knead for about 1 minute.
  5. Drop dough by large spoonfuls on to a baking sheet spritzed with baking spray.
  6. Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes.
