Buttery Farm Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (or use salted and leave out the salt)
3/4 cup skim milk

Preparation

Combine flour, baking powder& salt.
Cut the butter into the flour using 2 knives or a pastry blender, keep cutting until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
With a fork stir in the milk, very gently, until a soft dough forms.
Don't over mix.
Place the dough on a baking sheet (jelly roll pan) and with floured hands press it into a 9\" x 9\" square.
Use a spatula or the dull side of a knife and cut the dough into 12 biscuits without actually cutting them apart.
Bake in 400F oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden.
Transfer to a wire rack& cool for about 10 minutes.
Serve with homemade fruit jam or anything else that takes your fancy.
