Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven, Pre heat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Mix first dry ingredients in a large bowl or in the food processor fitted with steel blade.
- Add cold butter and shortening; with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or in the food processor), mix or process butter and shortening into dry ingredients, until the mixture resembles dry oatmeal.
- If using a food processor, transfer mixture to a large bowl.
- Stir in milk with a rubber spatula or fork until dry ingredients are just moistened.
- Let dough rest for 1 minute, then dump it on a floured work surface.
- Gently Roll the dough into a rough 6-by-10-inch rectangle 1/2-inch thick.
- With a knife cut rectangle three times across and five times down to form 15, 2"x2" rectangular biscuits.
- Place dough 1 1/2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet; brush dough tops with melted butter or milk.
- Bake until biscuits are lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
- Cool left overs, wrap with plastic wrap and freeze as soon as possible.
- NOTE.
- There's two things to remember when making biscuits.
- -Keepthings cold so the butter does not melt.
- The process of cutting the butter into the flour actually coats the flour with a light layer of grease to prevent it from absorbing liquid and creating gluten-- which will make the product tough and more bread like.
- If the butter starts to get soft while working it into the flour then refrigerate the batch for 20 mins before going on.
- -Workfast and gently.
- Only mix as much as necessary to do the job.
- Over working dough develops gluten.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450.
- Grease on 8-inch square baking pan or small baking sheet.
- Put the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable shortening and toss it to coat with the flour. Break the chunk into 5 or 6 smaller chunks and start rubbing the flour and shortening together with your fingers and letting the mixture fall back into the bowl. This does not take long; when the mixture looks like irregular lumps you have mixed enough.
- Add the milk all at once and stir to moisten all the flour and shortening. Dust a surface with flour, turn the dough onto the surface and knead the dough ten times.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Cut the biscuits with a two-inch cookie cutter and place on the prepared pan with a little space between the biscuits.
- Bake 15-18 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.
- Serve hot with butter and honey.
BETTY CROCKER'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS (LIGHT, FLAKY AND TENDER)
I have been using this recipe for years from the first cookbook that I ever owned, my Betty Crocker's Big Red Cookbook, from my high school home economics class. I make these for my mom, and she loves them. Having my mom's seal of approval guarantees these are good because she knows her biscuits. My mom's mother (my grandma) made handmade biscuits two to three times every single day during my mom's childhood growing up on a farm.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
- Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl. Cut in shortening using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk until dough leaves side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
- Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat 3/4 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 ½ -inch round cutter. Place on ungreased cooked sheet about 1 inch apart for crusty sides, touching for soft sides (I prefer crusty sides). After cutting as many biscuits as possible, lightly press-don't knead- the scraps of dough together to make 1 to 2 more biscuits.
- Bake 10 to 12 min or until golden brown. Serve warm.
- Note: This recipe doubles very well. Every time that I make these, I always double this recipe. To double, simply double all the ingredients. Also, the key to high-rise, flaky biscuits is having really fresh baking powder and not overworking the dough. Even if your baking powder is not expired, the biscuits will not rise if the baking powder has clumps inside the container. Also, I cannot emphasize enough to just lightly knead the dough 10 times; over-kneading will produce a tough biscuit. When you pat the dough to ¾ inch thickness, the baking powder will already be activating the dough to rise. Do not re-pat the dough down again because the air bubbles forming will make the biscuits flaky.
- Betty Crocker's Tips for Biscuits: Tip One: One secret to making flaky biscuits is thoroughly blending or "cutting in" the shortening and dry ingredients. A pastry blender, which breaks the shortening into little lumps works great for cutting inches If you don't have one, you can crisscross two table knives through the flour and shortening or use a wire whisk.
- Tip Two: Use a biscuit cutter dipped in flour to cut the dough, pushing the cutter straight down through the dough. If you twist as you cut, the biscuits will be uneven. Cut the biscuits as close together as possible. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, use the end of an open 6-ounce juice can or other narrow can or glass, or use cookie cutters for fun shapes. Dip in flour before cutting.

Steps:
- In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Using pastry blender, 2 knives or fingertips, cut in butter and shortening until coarse crumbs with a few larger pieces. Make well in centre; pour in milk all at once. Stir with fork just until dough clings together.
- Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead lightly 10 to 12 times. Pat out into scant ¾ inch thickness. Using 2 ½ inch round cutter, cut out biscuit, dipping cutter in flour between cuts, making sure to cut straight down and not twisting the cutter, which would seal the edges and prevent them from rising fully. Repeat with scraps once.
- Bake on ungreased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 450 degree oven until risen, golden and flaky, about 12 minutes.

ULTRA-BUTTERY IRISH SCONES
These tender, flaky scones are all about the butter-but the tart dried currants and a finish of flaky salt certainly don't hurt things.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk milk, granulated sugar, and kosher salt in a medium bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. Whisk flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut 10 Tbsp. butter into 1/2" cubes, add to flour mixture, and blend with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until pea-size pieces form with some larger chunks remaining. Add milk mixture and stir with a fork until large clumps form. Gently knead in the bowl until dough just comes together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface.
- With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough to a 14x8" rectangle, with long side facing you. Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a small, microwave-proof bowl in the microwave until softened but not melted, about 20 seconds. Spread evenly over dough with fingertips, then sprinkle currants evenly on top and press to adhere. Fold up bottom third of dough over center, then fold down top third to meet bottom edge, as if folding a letter. Fold in half crosswise, then, using a rolling pin, gently flatten into an 8x4" rectangle.
- Cut dough in half lengthwise and in quarters crosswise to form 8 even squares. Transfer to prepared pan, spacing 2" apart. Sprinkle tops generously with demerara sugar and lightly with flaky sea salt.
- Bake until scones are golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. When butter bubbles, remove from heat and skim off foam from surface. As soon as the scones come out of the oven, lightly brush tops with clarified butter, leaving behind white solids in bottom of saucepan. Cool scones on sheet on a wire rack and serve hot, warm, or room temperature.

- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet or two (depending on how large your baking sheets are) by lining them with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well with a fork or a whisk.
- In a liquid measuring cup, measure the cream and add the eggs. Whisk together using a fork and set aside.
- The next few steps should be done quickly, as you're working with cold butter and you want the butter to be as cold as possible when it hits the heat of the oven. This will result in a flaky scone, rather than a heavy and dense one.
