May I add my recipe here???

 

Here it is.

 

 

Baking Powder Biscuits

 

2 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

4 tsp. baking powder

4 Tab. shortening

3/4 cup milk or water

 

Put flour, salt, and baking powder into a bowl, mix so it is mixed up good. Add shortening, and cut into the flour mixture.. Add milk or water and mix in until it is just wet. I use milk.

 

You can roll them out on a floured surface and cut with cookie cutter or you can drop by spoonfuls unto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 425º F. for about 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown.

 

Note: Add a tsp. or two of sugar and use for shortcake.

 

I don't always add the surgar.

I think the sugar is to make them brown a bit more.

 

I always make batter biscuits with whole soft white wheat.
