Baking Powder Biscuits

This classic recipe makes about 8 biscuits (2 1/2 inch diameter).

I like to brush melted butter on the tops after the biscuits come out of the oven.

If you have leftovers, do not refrigerate. Just wrap them in plastic, and heat the next day in the oven, which is the best way to re-heat all bread products.

  4. (I use a fork.)
  5. Add milk, combine, knead a few times.
  6. Place dough on a floured area, and pat it into a 1 inch tall round.
  7. Cut biscuits and place on a parchment lined bakig sheet.

  9. (Biscuits, in general, do not rise uniformly, so if you're new to biscuit-making, enjoy their lop-sided imperfections.)
