Big Daddy Biscuits

I used this recipe on Saturday morning to make some biscuits and it was amazing!! Super simple and the came out fabulous.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 cup milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
  3. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times. Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.
**I did a double batch and used a biscuit cutter to cut the dough close to 1 inch (I didn't measure exactly) and ended up cooking them a little longer because they were thicker. They would have been perfect for biscuits and gravy but I ended up just having them with strawberry jam and honey w/ butter. I will for sure next time.
