BISCUITS FOR 2
AN "EMPTY NESTER" RECIPE
AN "EMPTY NESTER" RECIPE
This quick and easy recipe
makes 4 big biscuits
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup COLD butter
1/2 cup milk
Preheat oven to 400° and grease a baking sheet.
Mix the dry ingredients together. Cut the COLD butter into very small cubes and work the butter pieces into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs. You can also do this step by pulsing the flour/butter a couple (very short) times with a food processor (but not too much).
Add milk and stir just until everything is moistened (don't overmix)
Turn out onto a lightly floured counter and knead 8-10 times. Dough might seem a little sticky at first, but it will come together nicely after you knead it a few times.
Pat or roll dough to 1/2" thickness and cut with floured 2 1/2" biscuit cutter (the floured rim of a drinking glass works too).
Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
Brush with butter when they are hot out of the oven. Makes 4 biscuits.
ENJOY !!!
