We have biscuits fairly often at our house. My daughter and I have a yeast sensitivity, so when we want to have bread with our meal, biscuits it is! They rise with baking powder and not yeast like most breads. Here's the recipe for some yummy biscuits!
Homemade Biscuits
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour (this can also be 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 regular all-purpose)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup butter (1 stick, slightly softened) and 1/4 cup shortening
1 cup milk
 |
| Dough ready to cut! |
Directions:
 |
| Ready for the oven! |
- Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar in a large bowl.
- Cut in the butter and shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and add milk all at once. Mix with a fork until just moistened.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead it by folding and pressing it together 4-6 times or just until dough holds together.
- Pat or gently roll it down to about 3/4" thickness.
- Using a floured biscuit cutter or round-shaped glass, cut out the biscuits. Get as many as you can in the first cutting since the rolling out the dough a second time makes the biscuits a bit tougher.
- Place them 1" apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden.
- Enjoy! I usually get 16-20 biscuits, depending on the dough thickness.
