Biscuits/Pic

[Roxy15]

I made these this morning to have with the fried chicken dinner I am making for dinner tonight.  These are simple to make!

 

Biscuits::

 

2 Cups Flour

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1 Tablespoon Sugar

1 Teaspoon Salt

1/3 Cup Shortening/Used Crisco

1 Cup Milk

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

 

Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl.  Cut in shortening using a fork or pastry blender-( I used a pastry blender)-until mixture resembles a coarse meal.

 

Add milk gradually, stirring with a fork until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.  The dough will be very sticky.

 

Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface or cutting board and kneed 5-6 times or just until it sticks together.  Don’t overdo kneeding!

 

Roll out dough onto a floured rolling pin to 1-in. thickness.

 

Cut out 2-1/2-in. rounds with a floured biscuit cutter,  I used a small rimmed glass.

 

Brush off excess flour and transfer rounds to an ungreased baking sheet spacing 2-inches apart.  ***I lined a cookie sheet with parchment paper!

 

***i used a metal spatula to transfer biscuits to cookie sheet,

 

Bake until edges begin to brown, 13-15 minutes.  ***i baked them for 12 minutes!

 

Buscuits keep up to 24 hours in an airtight container at room temperature.

 

Reheat in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.

 

***That sounds too high of a temperature to me, but, everyone’s stove is different.
