Carol's Best Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 14 cup Crisco
- milk
- butter
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Cut in crisco with pastry cutter or fork.
- Add enough milk to make dough, do not mix too much.
- Place dough on flour surface and pat out to about 1/2 inch thick, try not to work it too much the less handled the more tender the biscuit.
- Cut biscuits with a floured cutter or glass.
- Place on cookie sheet (I use a stone cookie sheet, it makes the biscuits a little crunchy on bottom).
- Top each biscuit with just a little bit of butter (no need to melt it, just put a little chunk).
- Bake for 15 minutes or until brown on the bottom and top.
- Remove and enjoy with your favorite topping.
