INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

  • Fat

    • ½ cup shortening

  • Liquid

    • 🥛 ¾ cup cold milk

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and gather all ingredients.

2

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3

Pour milk into the flour mixture and stir with a fork. Mix until dough is soft, moist, and pulls away from the bowl.

4

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly (5 to 7 times).

5

Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick sheet and use a floured cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Re-roll unused dough to repeat cutting.

6

Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
