Perfect Biscuits

By khovater

Ingredients

• 2 cups sifted flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425. Sift together the dry ingredients. Blend in the butter using 2 knives or a pastry blender until it resembles a coarse corn meal. (I processed it in the food processor) You can add 1 or 2 more tablespoons for butter for a richer biscuit, but I didn't.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in liquid and stir vigorously with a fork for 30 seconds. Then turn it onto a floured board and knead for 30 seconds.
Roll the dough with a lightly floured rolling pin or pat it out to the desired thickness. About 1/4 -1/2 inch. Cut the dough with a biscuit cutter (I just used a cup) Brush the tops with milk or melted butter and bake 1/2 inch apart on a greased baking sheet for 7-15 minutes.
