Baking Powder Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 c. Butter, cold
2 c. All purpose flour
1 Tbsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Salt
3/4 - 1c. Milk

Preparation

Heat oven to 450\u00b0f. 230\u00b0c. gas mark 8. Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt, then cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Stir in just enough milk so the dough comes together into a ball leaving the sides of the bowl clean. Too much will make the dough sticky, not enough will make the biscuits dry.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly to make the dough nice and smooth.
Roll out to 1/2 thick, cut with a floured biscuit cutter.
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Immediately remove from the cookie sheet.
Makes about 10-12 biscuits.
