These were the biscuits we had on our vacation. We had them as biscuits and gravy for breakfast but I could have just eaten them with jam or jelly. They were DELICIOUS!
1 1/3 cups flour
2 TBL sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
5 TBL cold butter, cut in pieces (my SIL swears this makes all the difference!!)
1/2 cup milk
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a baking sheet. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixutre resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir with a fork to form a soft dough. Roll out the dough about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles with a 2 1/2" cookie cutter. Place on the prepared sheet and bake until golden (about 12 minutes). Serve hot or warm.
There's a variation for this recipe on the page it came from....for berry shortcake, split the biscuites in half while still warm. Butter on half, top with lightly sugared fresh berries, sucah as strawberries, raspberries or blueberries, and sandwich with the other half. Serve with dollops of whipped cream. Sounds GREAT to me!
