Baking Powder Biscuits
Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
salt, table
leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate
sugars, granulated
shortening, vegetable, household, composite
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Grease two 8-inch cake pans.
Put the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl.
Cut the shortening into the flour with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add the milk all at once and stir just until the dough forms a ball around the fork.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead 14 times.
Pat until 1/2 inch thick.
Cut into rounds with a 2-inch cookie cutter.
Place touching each other in the cake pans and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Roll biscuits to 1/4 inch thick and place 1 inch apart.
Bake in a 450 F oven for 12 minutes.
This will yield almost twice as many biscuits.
Use 2/3 cup buttermilk instead of sweet milk and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, cutting the amount of baking powder in half, to 2 teaspoons.
Add 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients.
Add an additional 1/3 cup milk and drop by teaspoonfuls onto a buttered baking sheet.
