Another recipe that Shirley Burns gave to me probably 30 plus years ago.
Yield: 1 8" square pan
Description: yummy; moist and dense.
Suggestions: don�t over bake.
First baked: somewhere around 1970.
Ingredients
2 c. of all purpose flour |
1/2 c. of Crisco solid shortening |
4 tsp. baking powder |
2/3 c. milk |
2 tsp granulated sugar |
|
1/2 tsp table salt |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Grease an 8" square baking pan.
Combine dry ingredients.
Cut in Crisco shortening.
Add milk. Mix with a fork until dough comes together.
Knead 8 or 10 times on a lightly floured surface.
Pat or roll out to about 1" thickness. Cut into rounds.
Place in baking pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Bake until light brown. Do not overbake.
Note: I do not usually sift the dry ingredients. The stickier the dough remains the lighter the biscuits will be. This recipe doubles nicely, and I rarely make a single batch. If baking a double recipe, you will need a 9" by 13" pan.
For sweeter biscuits, use 1/2 c.of sugar.
