Biscuits

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups flour
5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, shortening or margarine
1 1/3 cup milk

Directions

1. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
2. Add the butter to the flour and mix either by hand or with a fork until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
3. Make a well in the centre of the flour and add all of the milk at once.
4. Mix with a fork as best you can until dough follows the fork around the bowl.
5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured counter and kneed five times.
6. Roll dough about 1/2 inch thick.
7. Use a cookie cutter or cup to cut rounds out of dough and place rounds on a baking sheet.
8. Bake at 450F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
