Easy nuff'
ingredients
Flour -- 2 cups
Baking powder -- 1 tablespoon
Salt -- 1 teaspoon
Butter, cold, cut into small cubes -- 4 ounces, or 1/2 cup
Milk -- 2/3 cup
directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together into a large bowl. Add the butter and work into the flour quickly with your hands to form a coarse mealy texture.
Stir in just enough milk to bring all the ingredients together in a shaggy mass. You may have to add more or less milk than called for.
Remove the dough to a floured work surface and knead briefly just to smooth out the dough. Do not overknead or your biscuits will end up tough.
Roll out to a thickness of about 3/4 inch. Cut into rounds with a floured glass or a biscuit cutter. Place the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet and brush with milk or melted butter.
Place in the oven and bake until browned on top, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
