Sweet Biscuits For Breakfast Or Shortcake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400, I place a rack in lowest position in the oven.
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Cut in butter.
• Stir in liquid until it just begins to pull from the sides- it will be pretty moist.
• Spread 1/4 C flour on a pastry board and dump the dough onto the flour.
• Gently turn the dough until all sides are covered with flour.
• Knead by gently rubbing the dough into the flour, a scant 8 to 10 turns.
• Pat the dough into a 1 inch thich slab.
• Cut into rounds with a sharp round biscuit cutter- I use a 2 1/2 inch cutter-- you can push the scraps together to make room to cut a few more, try not to knead it too much.
• Place on insulated cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
• Put in HOT oven and bake for 12- 15 minutes.
• You can test by lifting the top layer of the center biscuit; if it's done it will look dry inside and the edges will be golden.
• (I get 9 biscuits when I use a 2 1/2" cutter).
