Not only are biscuits delicious, but they are extremely versatile. This is a great recipe. Quick and easy. Biscuits go great with any meal or as a snack with jam or cheese. They are especially delicious when used for Strawberry Shortcake or Chicken a’ la King as well.<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/h2>\n

Yield: 18 to 20 biscuits (app. 1 and 3\/4″)<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blend flour, salt and baking powder together in a medium sized mixing bowl.<\/li>\n
  2. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or a fork. Shortening should be the size of peas.<\/li>\n
  3. Stir in milk to form a soft dough.<\/li>\n
  4. Dump dough onto lightly floured counter and gently knead 8 to 10 times. Roll or pat down to 1\/2 inch or desired thickness and cut with a floured cookie cutter.<\/li>\n
  5. Place biscuits onto a parchment lined baking sheet about one inch apart. Bake in preheated 400°F oven for approx. 12 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, place on wire cooling rack and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Candra’s Notes:<\/p>\n

    Biscuit dough should be soft, but not sticky. A little kneading will improve the quality of your biscuits, but, this should be done very gently as too much handling will result in tough biscuits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
